Compounded PP

The breadth of the materials includes Polystrand™ unidirectional tapes made with continuous glass fiber and an expanding variety of resins such as polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polyketone (PK), polyamide (PA), and others, and Fiber-Line™ engineered fiber tapes, made using uniquely processed fibers including carbon, glass, and aramid.

They can be injection molded or overmolded onto polypropylene (PP).

COMPTEK™ High Temperature Formulations: Eighteen months ago, PolyOne acquired COMPTEK (Diez, Germany), a specialist in formulations based on extreme-heat polymeric materials such as PEEK, PES, PEI, PPS, PSU and PPSU.

It helps bring incompatible polymers, such as PP and PE, together by forming them into a homogenous polymer mixture that increases mechanical properties based on polymer modification (link to full press release above).

Evoluscend™ additive is effective across a range of high-temperature polymers, including PPSU, PES, PSU, PEI, LCP, PPS, and PEEK.

Because the TPE bonds well to the polypropylene (PP) substrate, the tub withstands repeated folding and unfolding.

Based on polymers such as polypropylene (PP), the new formulations also include a natural filler made from renewable plant sources that would otherwise go to waste.
