This
PP/EPDM plastic repair kit contains all the essential components needed to perform a professional and durable repair by
plastic welding on parts made of PP/EPDM.
PP/EPDM (Polypropylene / Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) combines the excellent thermoforming properties of polypropylene with the elastic material characteristics of EPDM. This blend is widely used in the automotive industry, especially for
car bumpers, fender liners, and flexible body trim.
Technical Material Properties of PP/EPDM:
Polypropylene / Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer (PP/EPDM) is an olefin-based thermoplastic elastomer (TPO) in which elastic polymer chains are embedded in a thermoplastic matrix. It becomes moldable when heated and regains its elasticity once cooled.
- High Durability: offers good abrasion resistance, strong resistance to weather, UV rays, and chemicals, as well as a reliable sealing effect.
- Safe to Use: odorless and skin-friendly material.
- Melting Point: approx. 160 °C (320 °F).
- Continuous Service Temperature: between -45 °C and +125 °C (-49 °F to +257 °F).
- Compatible / Similar Plastics: PP (Polypropylene).
