Thermoplastic Polyolefins (TPO or TPE-O)
TPO compounds are resin blends of polypropylene (PP) and un-crosslinked EPDM rubber and polyethylene. ... They are used in applications where there is a requirement for increased toughness and durability over the conventional PP copolymers, such as automotive bumpers and dashboards.
What is better TPO or PVC?
While PVC offers better resistance to puncture and weathering, TPO (like PVC) is recyclable and environmentally friendly. ... However, TPO is also less resistant to chemicals than PVC, so it is not the optimal choice where grease or harsh chemicals are involved.
Which is better TPO or EPDM?
TPO has better dimensional stability than EPDM. EPDM is more likely to shrink which can cause a variety of problems on your roof.
