As illustrated here, molding with continuous fiber reinforced composites enables improved flexural performance over filled polypropylene as well as increased impact resistance and overall weight reduction.

A leading North American manufacturer of polypropylene (PP) hose for medical applications, including laser surgery, respiratory care and sleep apnea equipment, faced a challenge with its existing thermoplastic vulcanizate (TPV).

Its customer, a luxury European automaker, was buying radiator shrouds that the molder made from a black talc-filled polypropylene on a single-cavity injection system.

During the injection-molding step, the TPE insert forms a strong bond with the substrate, such as polypropylene or polyethylene, used for the container closure.

These sustainable formulations provide comparable mechanical properties to glass fiber reinforced polypropylene compounds at 5-10% lower density.
