AKU®-LEN PP-GF30 SOLID RODS or ROUND BARS in PP-GF30

PP GF30 is a PP reinforced with 30% glass fiber and has increased dimensional stability, very high rigidity and high heat deflection temperature.resistance, which opens up additional applications.

Polypropylene has good rigidity, hardness and strength, but low notched impact strength. PP does not tend to form stress cracks and is easy to weld. However, embrittlement occurs at sub-zero temperatures.

The chemical and electrical properties are very good. The continuous operating temperature is between +5 °C and approx. +100 °C.

Our PP solid rods are physiologically safe in accordance with Regulation (EC) 1935/2004 and approved for use with food.

  • High rigidity, high surface hardness
  • Very good welding and processing properties
  • Very suitable for tank and apparatus construction
  • Low density
  • Very good chemical resistance
  • Low oxidation resistance, low abrasion resistance
  • Brittle in the cold

Packaging unit approx. 5 kglight gray ~ RAL 7032

PP can be modified and reinforced to improve specific properties.
PP-GF30 stands for polypropylene with 30% by weight glass fiber reinforcement. 

Properties of PP-GF30:

  • High strength:
    The tensile strength and rigidity of PP are significantly improved by the addition of 30% by weight of glass fibers. PP-GF30 has a higher strength compared to unreinforced PP.

  • Good chemical resistance:
    Like conventional PP, PP-GF30 also exhibits good resistance to many chemicals, making it suitable for various industrial applications.

  • Temperature resistance:
    The glass fiber reinforcement improves the heat resistance of PP-GF30 compared to unreinforced PP. It can withstand higher temperatures before its structural properties are impaired.

  • Low weight:
    Despite the glass fiber reinforcement, PP-GF30 remains light compared to metallic materials, resulting in weight reduction in applications.

  • Rigidity:
    The glass fiber reinforcement increases the rigidity of PP-GF30, making it suitable for applications with structural requirements.

Applications of PP-GF30:

PP-GF30 is used in various industries for specific applications, including:

  • Automotive industry:
    Parts such as bumpers, engine compartment components, dashboards and other structural components.

  • Electrical and electronics industry:
    Housings for electronic devices, switches, connectors and other components.

  • Mechanical engineering: Structural parts,
    housings and components where a combination of strength and lightness is required.

  • Construction industry:
    Components that require strength and resistance to environmental influences.

PP-GF30 is a preferred choice in applications requiring high strength and stiffness due to its improved mechanical properties and versatility .
