Washington Penn Homopolymer Polypropylene 40% Glass Reinforced

Fiberglass & mineral-reinforced polypropylene compounds provide excellent tensile and impact properties. Mold shrinkage is similar to ABS and polystyrene. Compounds also have dimensional stability. The glass-reinforcement provides a better strength and modulus than any of the particulate mineral fillers.

Polymer Name: Polypropylene Homopolymer (HPP)

Fillers Included: Glass Fiber, Mineral

Melt Flow Index: 12.0 - 12.0 g/10 min
