Typical Mechanical Test Results

Product : Polypropylene Compound with 10%-25% Glass reinforcement

Colour : Black
Comments : PPGF grades represent our family of specialty chemically coupled glass
reinforced polypropylenes (PP). When chemical coupling technology is applied to glass
fibre reinforced polypropylene, significant improvements are seen across a number of
key physical attributes. B/BL series signifies added supreme black shade to the
customers’ requirement that will allow for superior flow with negligible loss of properties
over natural shades. The enhanced properties of these polymers yield an extremely
attractive cost/performance balance when compared to traditional engineering
thermoplastics.
