Toyota TSM5608G-5BL Super Olefin Polymer Molding Materials (TSOP)

Toyota vehicle company has developed a new high-performance resin material for use in automobile interior parts. Developed in collaboration with nine resin producing companies, this material is the world's first resin material based on a new crystallization theory. The new material (TSOP-5), which will be used in automobile interior parts, has been designed using proprietary Toyota molecular design technology. It has superior heat and impact resistance, excellent mold flow and recyclability, among its many excellent properties.

Toyota has also published the “TSM5608G-5BL Super olefin polymer molding materials (TSOP)” standard for this new material. This standard describes the requirements for super olefin polymer molding materials.

Toyota has always paid special attention to the environment in automobile manufacturing and is constantly working to improve technology for recycling resin parts. Prior to that, Toyota developed superolefin polymer (TSOP), a highly recyclable thermoplastic resin based on an original molecular composite structure known as the elastomer matrix. This material has been used mainly in bumpers, but has also found applications in vehicle interiors.

Super olefin polymer molding materials (TSOP) under the TSM5608G-5BL standard provide many desirable properties compared to existing multi-reinforced polypropylene (PP), such as heat and impact resistance, stiffness, recyclability, and dimensional stability. Thus, the new material can be applied to a wide variety of automotive interior parts such as instrument panels, trim and garnishes.

This material makes a great contribution to the recovery and recycling of resin parts by reducing the different resins used in vehicles to a single material. In addition, its excellent physical properties enable optimum design using lighter components.

Today, vehicle interior materials are grouped into two types. The first is the type with high fluidity (to create thin walls) and high hardness, represented by Toyota super olefin polymer (TSOP). The latter is the high rigidity, high impact resistant type and is required in instrument panels represented by TSOP-3.

Our organization also provides testing services for super olefin polymer molding materials within the scope of Toyota TSM5608G-5BL standard, with its trained and expert staff and advanced technological equipment, among the numerous test, measurement, analysis and evaluation studies it provides for businesses in various sectors.
