From Catalyst Design to End Performance: Developing Enhanced TPO Formulations Meeting the Challenges of Automotive OEMS by Taking Advantage of a New Family of Ethylene/Octene Copolymers R.Barry, K.Walton, J.Hemphill Dow Elastomers Abstract Ethylene-Octene elastomers have become the dominant material for impact modifying polypropylene to produce TPO for automotive applications. The automotive industry continually strives to reduce weight, improve fuel efficiency, and differentiate through design and aesthetics. They constantly demand ever greater performance from TPOs. The ability of the elastomer to improve the properties of PP is dependant on the compatibility to the PP matrix. Recent advances in catalyst technology have permitted the capability to produce elastomers with molecular architecture tailored for specific applications. Recent Voice of the Customer results across the automotive value chain have reinforced the need for lighter weight, stiffer TPO-based parts while meeting increasingly demanding toughness requirements. This combination of new molecular architecture capability and market need has resulted in the development of elastomers with better low temperature impact efficiencies, improved CLT, and easier handling characteristics, while improving TPO demoulding performance. This paper presents modeling work done at The Dow Chemical Company examining how to design TPO formulations to take advantage of these new elastomers, and gives examples of how compounds could be designed in future to offer lower weight, greater design freedom, and better aesthetics.
