CCS - Customized Compound Solution by Bjørn Thorsen A/S
Opti-Flex™ TPO 2620-75A
Opti-Flex TPO 2620-75A is a clear, flexible, polypropylene-based thermoplastic elastomer (TPE-O) from the Opti-Flex TPO 2600 series. This grade provides high-flow behavior optimized for injection molding, combining flexibility, silky touch and excellent clarity. It is suitable for food-contact applications, EPR/EPDM-free and fully PP-compatible.
Key Features:
- High-flow grade for easy injection molding
- Silky touch and clear appearance
- Good mechanical strength and flexibility
- Food-contact compliant and recyclable in PP stream
Processing Form:
- Injection Molding
Processing Notes:
Process around 160 °C with mold 10–20 °C. No drying necessary. Use PP or PE as purge materials and LDPE masterbatch if color is added.
Application:
Food contact applications
Hardness:
74A
Delivery Form:
Pellets
Opti-Flex TPO is Designed with Sustainability in Mind
Recyclability
As a thermoplastic elastomer, TPO can be recycled during and after manufacturing, minimizing waste and contributing to a circular economy. Some Recyclass available guidelines demonstrate suitability of the solution at levels up to 10% in PP.
Lightweight for Energy Savings
As an unfilled thermoplastic elastomer, Opti-Flex TPO has an extremely low specific gravity, allowing significant weight savings vs similar TPEs of same hardness.
Durability
Excellent Tensile & Tear properties combined with good stability allow long product lifespan, thus decreasing the need for replacements, reducing resource use over time.
Eco-Friendly Alternatives
Being primarily based on polyolefins, Opti-Flex TPO exhibits some of the lower carbon footprint among virgin (fossil-based) thermoplastic elastomers of same hardness, as demonstrated by available CO2 footprint values calculated specifically.
