- Extreme Plus HG™ sheet are both high performance thermoplastic polyolefin (TPO) structures. With a wide processing range, they are specifically engineered for easy, consistent and stable thermoforming. Extreme Plus HG is our high gloss sheet, while Extreme Plus LG offers the same performance properties with the option of a lower gloss finish. These tough, high impact TPO sheets provide excellent cold crack resistance and outstanding chemical resistance. A high or low gloss, molded-in-color surface can be achieved on many applications where harsh weather, chemicals, heavy vibration or heat stresses are factors.
- Key Characteristics
- High or low gloss cap surface with a high impact
- TPO structure
- Ease in thermoforming
- Integral UV protective package
- Resilient to high vibration
- Dimensionally stable
- Available in a wide range of custom colors, thicknesses and sizes
