Compounding TPO (thermoplastic polyurethane) with steel plates can bring several advantages, mainly depending on the field of application and requirements. Here are some possible advantages:
1. Weather resistance: TPO has good weather resistance and can resist ultraviolet radiation, high temperature and harsh weather conditions. Compared with steel plates alone, TPO composites maintain their properties longer and are less susceptible to aging or fading.
2. Waterproof: TPO is a good waterproof material, so when combined with steel plates, it can create a good waterproof layer. This is useful on roofs, basements, and other applications where waterproofing is required.
3. Lightweight: TPO is a lightweight material. After compounding it with steel plates, it can reduce the weight of the overall structure. This is beneficial for some construction and transportation applications, reducing the load on the structure and increasing efficiency.
4. Chemical resistance: TPO material has good resistance to chemicals and can resist some corrosive substances. This is important in some special environments, such as chemical plants and laboratories.
5. Environmentally friendly: TPO is a recyclable thermoplastic material, so its composite with steel plates may help reduce waste and reduce environmental impact.
6. Easy to install: The combination of TPO and steel plates is usually relatively easy to install, which can save time and labor costs. This is very beneficial for large-scale construction projects.
