CCS - Customized Compound Solution by Bjørn Thorsen A/S
Opti-Flex™ TPO 2620-90A
Opti-Flex TPO 2620-90A is a clear, hard, and flexible polypropylene-based thermoplastic elastomer (TPE-O) from the Opti-Flex TPO 2600 series. This grade offers excellent mechanical performance combined with a silky touch and clarity. It is intended for injection molding applications, suitable for food contact, EPR/EPDM-free and fully compatible with PP.
Key Features:
- Hard and clear polypropylene-based TPE-O formulation
- High mechanical strength and abrasion resistance
- Silky surface touch and clarity
- Food-contact compliant and recyclable in PP stream
Processing Form:
- Injection Molding
Processing Notes:
Process at 170 °C with mold 20–40 °C. No drying necessary. Use PP or PE as purge materials and LDPE masterbatch for coloring if required.
Application:
Food contact applications
Hardness:
91A
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.
