PP GF30 NAT

Polypropylene

30% glass-fibre reinforced, natural colour

Polypropylene is among the most used plastics worldwide thanks to its low density, chemical resistance and price-performance balance. Homopolymer (PPH) is the stiffest, block copolymer (PPC) the toughest in the cold, random copolymer (PPR) the clearest and most hot-water resistant. Its mineral and glass-fibre compounds replace metal in automotive parts.

Overview

PP GF30 NAT is the 30% glass-fibre reinforced, natural colour grade of the PP family in the compounds group. It is used in applications such as food containers, closures and living-hinge packaging, automotive bumpers and interior trim, hot-water pipe (ppr) and fittings. The grade with the right flow for injection, extrusion or another process is specified in the quotation together with your quantity and colour; TDS and SDS are sent with the quotation.

Typical properties

PropertyTypical value
Density1,12–1,14 g/cm³
Melting point160–165 °C
Tensile strength70–90 MPa
HDT (1.8 MPa)140–155 °C

Tensile strength is measured to ISO 527, melt flow rate to ISO 1133, heat deflection temperature to ISO 75 (1.8 MPa); flammability class per UL94. Depending on supplier and grade, values can fall outside this range.

Applications

  • Food containers, closures and living-hinge packaging
  • Automotive bumpers and interior trim
  • Hot-water pipe (PPR) and fittings
  • Appliances, garden and household goods

Documents

The supplier's technical data sheet (TDS) and safety data sheet (SDS) for PP GF30 NAT are sent by e-mail with the quoted grade; because the same code has different sheets at different suppliers we do not publish a single file on the site.
