Telene Company Logo
Telene® 1660 technology utilizes ring opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP). Formulations are based on dicyclopentadiene (DCPD) and engineered to produce polydicyclopentadiene polymer (PDCPD), well-known for its robust mechanical properties at low temperatures, its low water absorption, and its radio transparency.

Polymer Name: Polydicyclopentadiene (PDCPD)

Processing Methods: Injection Molding, Reaction Injection Molding (RIM)

End Uses: Automotive Bumpers, Automotive Exterior Parts, Automotive Under The Hood, Engine Covers, Fenders
