Description

Reinforced polypropylene with 30% long glass fiber. The key features are:

Outstanding mechanical properties such as high strength and stiffness combined with high heat deflection

The notched impact strength is increased at elevated and low temperatures due to the fiber skeleton built in the parts

The long fiber reinforcement reduces creep significantly

The very isotropic shrinkage in the molded parts minimizes the warpage

Complex parts can be manufactured with high reproducibility by injection molding

Depending on the grade: chemically coupled, heat stabilized, enhanced flow, UV stabilized

This material data has been provided by M-Base.

"Typical" values were obtained via a literature search. "Predicted" values were imputed via artificial intelligence technology. While we have placed significant efforts in ensuring data accuracy, "typical" and "predicted" data should be considered indicative and verified by appropriate material testing. Please do contact us if additional information on the the predicted data method is required.
All metrics apply to room temperature unless otherwise stated. SI units used unless otherwise stated.
Equivalent standards are similar to one or more standards provided by the supplier. Some equivalent standards may be stricter whereas others may be outside the bounds of the original standard.
