XyloX™ PP
Polypropylene-based thermoplastic elastomer compound with recycled rubber crumb. Combines the benefits of PP with enhanced flexibility and impact resistance.
Why Choose XyloX PP
Advantages for engineers and manufacturers.
Lower Density
PP base provides lower density than HDPE, ideal for weight-critical applications like automotive components.
Chemical Resistance
Excellent resistance to acids, alkalis, and most organic solvents. Suitable for industrial environments.
Processing Flexibility
Compatible with injection molding, extrusion, and blow molding. Multiple processing options.
Heat Sink Effect
Rubber component absorbs heat during molding, enabling 15-20% faster cycle times.
Dimensional Stability
Even cooling reduces warpage and shrinkage. Higher tolerance parts with less reject rate.
Cost Effective
Recycled content and faster cycles reduce per-part costs compared to virgin materials.
