2016年6月7日 · Compaction of high modulus polypropylene (PP) tapes or fibers under carefully controlled conditions of temperature and pressure, forms self-reinforced PP. In a typical production process, a small part of the tape or fiber surface is melted and recrystallized upon cooling to bind the surface together.

The shrinkage of molded plastic parts can be as much as 20% by volume when measured at the processing and ambient temperature. This volume contraction of polymers often leads to wrapped parts and dimension differences.

HiFill® PP GF10 is a polypropylene (PP) grade, reinforced with 10% glass fiber. Designed for injection molding process. Used in 3D-printing market and large-part additive manufacturing. Complies with Flame Rating UL 94 (HB).

2020年8月19日 · ExxonMobil has introduced new foamable Achieve™ Advanced PP6302E1, an easily and affordably processed sustainable solution for high volume applications, including food and beverage packaging, industrial packaging, building products, and automotive parts.

2021年3月17日 · Currently, there are about 30,000 parts in a vehicle, out of which 1/3 are made of plastic. In total, about 39 different types of basic plastics and polymers are used to make an automobile. More than 70% of the plastic used in automobiles comes from four polymers: Polypropylene, Polyurethane, Polyamides and ; PVC.

A brand new nucleating agent for PP thermoforming applications enhances the appearance of parts and sheets with higher gloss and reduced haze, offering an ideal balance of mechanical and physical properties, with excellent top load compression and improved impact resistance.

2024年3月28日 · CELSTRAN® +PP-GF45-05X551/1X by Celanese is a chemically coupled polypropylene (PP) grade, reinforced with 45% long glass fiber of 10 mm, reducing creep significantly. Can be concentrated for blending down on a fiber content of 20-30%.

The use of PP with Millad® NX™8000 clarifying agent has shown to be a great sustainable alternative to PET in cosmetic applications. Polymers : Clear Polypropylene (PP)
