What is TPO?

TPO most likely refers to "Thermoplastic Olefin". TPOs are a class of polymer/filler blends, usually consisting of some fraction of a thermoplastic, an elastomer or rubber, and a filler. They are commonly used in automotive parts (bumpers, dashboards), roofing membranes, and wire and cable insulation due to their flexibility, impact resistance, and recyclability.
