As proof, Mecaplast has used a TPO compound containing a mix of talc and Hyperform HPR-803i (total additive content around 10% by weight) to mould prototype B-pillar covers that it normally supplies in a conventional 20% talc-filled TPO (elastomer-modified polypropylene). The prototype parts weighed 524 g, seven percent less than the commercial parts. The compound has a density of 0.98 g/cm3, which compares with 1.04 g/cm3 for a 20% talc-filled TPO with similar mechanical properties.
