PP-GF with 50% chemically coupled long glass fibers (-0403 =heat stabilized, -0405 = UV-stabilized, -0453/-0455 = low emission

Material code according to ISO 1043-1: PP Heat stabilized polypropylene homopolymer reinforced with 50 weight percent long glass fibers. Black. The fibers are chemically coupled to the polypropylene matrix. The pellets are cylindrical and normally as well as the embedded fibers 11 mm long. (-0403 = heat stabilized, -0405 = UV-stabilized, -0453/-0455 = low emission) Parts molded of CELSTRAN have 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. Application field: Functional/structural parts for automotive
