Overview
PP Mineral is the talc-filled (20–40%) — stiff, dimensionally stable, automotive and appliances 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
| Property | Typical value |
|---|---|
| Density | 1,04–1,24 g/cm³ |
| Melting point | 160–165 °C |
| Tensile strength | 28–35 MPa |
| HDT (1.8 MPa) | 70–100 °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
