Polifil® GFPP-40
- Chemical Family
- PolyolefinsPolypropylenes (PP)
Polifil® GFPP-40 are homopolymer polypropylene resins reinforced with glass fibers. They provide high impact with increased strength, stiffness, surface hardness, and higher continuous temperature. Other benefits include reduced distortion under long-term stress. These compounds are used in appliances, electrical components, automotive and utility products. Standard processing techniques are applicable. Use this information as a guide to aid you in selecting the proper resin for your application. TPG will custom compound and fine-tune our formulations for your application.
