Apigo™ 8376 BS/55

Apigo™ 8376 BS/55 by Trinseo is a (PVC-free) flexible thermoplastic olefin elastomer (TPO) based compound containing raw materials from renewable sources. Is suitable for processing by extrusion. Is an excellent alternative to flexible PVC for halogen-free products. Possesses rigidity lower than conventional polypropylene and allows co-molding to polyolifinic substrate. Shows physical and mechanical properties comparable to conventional TPOs derived from fossil fuels. Allows reduction of CO₂ emissions and greenhouse gases thereby saving fossil resources. Apigo™ 8376 BS/55 exhibits lightness, elasticity, resistance to low temperatures, good range of hardness, elastic modulus, chemical resistance to acids and bases, excellent processability, short molding cycles and easy recycling (100%). Used in building and construction applications, home furnishings, automotive, packaging, electrical domestic appliances, thermo-hydro sanitary, toys, sports footwear (ski boots, inline skates and ice-skates), household products and personal care applications. Complies with European 10/2011/EC standard, FDA and BSI certificate.
