Celstran+ PP GF20, GF30 and GF40 offer excellent processing properties that ensure uniform glass fiber distribution and a good surface finish.
Ticona Engineering Polymers (Florence, KY) has announced the availability of new grades of Celstran+ PP long fiber reinforced thermoplastics (LFRT) designed to outperform SMA resins and PC/ABS blends that are commonly used by North American OEMs to mold automotive instrument panels, air duct panels and reinforcement components. Celstran+ PP GF20, GF30 and GF40 offer:
- Long glass fibers chemically coupled to a base polypropylene (PP) resin.
- An exceptionally well balanced property profile.
- Excellent processing properties that ensure uniform glass fiber distribution and a good surface finish.
- Weight and cost savings.
- Optimal mechanical properties.
- Improved creep resistance.
- Improved impact performance.
- Improved notched impact strength.
- Higher tensile strength and elongation resulting in ductile behavior.
- Ability to integrate more metal brackets and reinforcements into substrate or eliminate entirely.
- Increased sound dampening properties.
- Low carbon emission.
