Market Overview:
Thermoplastic polyolefin, is a substance that became first of all created for pond liners and has been broadly used for roofing considering 1989. It is a single-ply membrane that may be automatically or adhesively fixed to a roof. Thermoplastic Polyolefin (TPO) is product of a polymerized aggregate of polypropylene and ethylene-propylene rubber.
Thermoplastic Polyolefin (TPO) is a low-price and effective alternative for flat and low-slope roofs and is particularly nicely desirable to warm, sunny climates. Thermoplastic Polyolefin (TPO) compounds are polypropylene resin blends with uncrosslinked EPDM rubber and polyethylene and feature high impact resistance, low density and good chemical resistance.
The respective products are used in programs that require greater toughness and sturdiness than traditional PP copolymers, together with automotive bumpers and dashboards. The properties are restricted to the higher cease of the hardness scale, commonly extra than eighty Shore A and have constrained elastomeric residences. TPOs are simple to process the use of injection molding, extrusion or blow molding.

Market Dynamics
Volatile prices of the raw materials
The availability and raw material prices are critical factors for producers in deciding the pricing structure of their product lines. Many TPOs’ prices are steadily going up. Price increases are primarily a result of rising labor and energy costs and the fluctuating price of crude oil and its derivatives.
Thermoplastic Polyolefin (TPO) costs also go up because they can’t be combined with fillers to produce products that use a lot of material but are inexpensive. Carbon black and other inexpensive fillers cannot be loaded into Thermoplastic Polyolefin (TPO). Compared to the equipment needed to process thermoset rubber, the processing of thermoplastic olefin is more expensive and requires a significant initial capital investment.
Plastic resins, industrial inorganic chemicals, synthetic rubbers, inorganic chemicals, and refined petroleum products are the raw materials used by TPO. Most of the respective raw materials are petroleum-based variants susceptible to commodity price fluctuations.

The expansion of the market as a whole is also being constrained by rising price competition among different types of Thermoplastic Polyolefin (TPO).
