ONTEX® is a cost-effective solution that takes out the hassle and cost of specialty adhesives and coatings while maintaining the favorable properties of a TPO.
ONTEX® is a multi-layered sheet solution that:
- Allows for a directly bondable surface to common adhesives for ABS without surface treatment
- Allows for a ready-to-paint surface, without adhesion promoters or primers
- Available for A-surface, B-surface, or both
- Thermoformable up to 700% draw
- Will not stick to the tool surface during forming
- Regrind usage up to 20%
- Compatible with all common TPO core materials
How does it work?
Thin, multilayer film bonded to TPO:
- Polar, directly bondable outer surface
- TPO-compatible inner surface
- Laminated to the sheet during extrusion
- Thermoforming process helps further adhesion, but not necessary
OPTIONS for USE
Painting
- ONTEX® passes automotive-style adhesion testing without the use of typical TPO adhesion promoters.
- It is a common practice by some to sand TPO for adhesion. There is no need to sand ONTEX sheet as this can damage and/or remove the bonding film layer.
Adhesives
- ONTEX® offers equal adhesion levels to ABS with common, non low-surface energy adhesives
- ONTEX® also fails in a tensile manner, allows for less breakage / extreme part failure
Foaming
- ONTEX® offers direct foam adhesion in twin-sheet and two-sheet applications, allowing for greater structural integrity and strength
