Thermoplastic Olefin Elastomers (TPO / TPE-O)

Based on 1566 products - Last update on the Jun 22, 2026

Thermoplastic olefin elastomers (TPE-O) are flexible, rubber-like materials with a smooth, matte surface finish. Key features include excellent UV and ozone resistance, good colorability, and recyclability. Used in automotive exterior/interior components, consumer goods, and medical applications. 

Alternatives include vulcanized rubbers and other thermoplastic elastomers like TPE-S and TPE-V. The industry is trending toward bio-based TPE-O variants as sustainability concerns grow. The material appears in several subtypes, including those based on polyethylene (PE-based), polypropylene (PP-based), and olefin block copolymers (OBCs), each offering different balances of properties to meet specific application requirements.
