Formalloy™ HG
- Chemical Family
- Polyolefins
Formalloy™ is a thermoplastic polyolefin (TPO) ideally suited for large part thermoforming applications that are subject to moving vibrations. Formalloy™ delivers a balanced range of properties designed for durability, impact strength, heat range and low thermal expansion. Formalloy™ is a weatherable UV-stable, sheet grade with superior color retention when compared to gelcoat fiberglass protective surfaces. Formalloy™ is available in both low- and high-gloss surface finishes.
