Meeting Modern Challenges in Bonding to Automotive TPO Materials

摘要

Thermoplastic olefin(TPO)materials belong to the larger group of thermoplastic elastomers(TPEs).As such,they come in many formulations and can be molded into parts with different surface finishes.Increasingly used in the automotive industry as an alternative to high-cost,heavy metal materials,TPO plastics present unique bonding challenges for pressure-sensitive adhesive(PSA)manufacturers.
