Polypropylene (PP), as one of the five general-purpose plastics, has a wide range of applications in all walks of life, however, the flammable characteristics of PP also limits its application space, hindering the further development of PP materials, so the flame retardant modification of PP has been the focus of attention. Combustion process and mechanism of polymer materials Polymer materials ar...

Long Glass Fiber Reinforced Polypropylene (LGFPP) plastics are modified polypropylene composites containing glass fibers with a length of 10 to 25 mm, which are injection molded to form a three-dimensional structure, abbreviated as LGFPP. LGFPP is increasingly being used in automotive applications due to its excellent overall performance. Features and Benefits of Long Glass Fiber Reinforced Polypr...

In the world of plastics, there is a material that integrates environmental protection, strength, heat resistance and impact resistance, which is long glass fiber reinforced polypropylene. This magical plastic mixture takes the strength, rigidity and heat resistance of ordinary polypropylene to a whole new level, making it ideal for many industries. 1. The characteristics of long glass fiber reinf...

HIPS and ABS are the first plastic materials used in household appliances, due to the high price of HIPS and ABS resin, the market has gradually developed PP(polypropylene) modified materials suitable for household appliance parts, and partially replaced HIPS and ABS resin in household appliance products with its advantages of low cost, light weight and good performance. Now the modified PP plasti...

Copolymers and homopolymers are distinct groups of polymers defined by the makeup and arrangement of their chemical structures. Homopolymers are distinguished by the fact that they are formed of one type of repeated monomer. Conversely, copolymers are made of at least two variants of monomers in any form of repeating pattern. While copolymers and homopolymers have some varying mechanical propertie...

Glass fiber reinforced polypropylene (PP/GF) has the advantages of low density, good heat and creep resistance, and high cost performance. It is widely used in electronic and electrical appliances, aerospace, automotive and other industries to prepare lightweight and thin-walled parts to replace steel, engineering plastics and other materials. The limiting oxygen index (LOI) of PP is about 17.0%, ...

There is no doubt that polypropylene is the most versatile thermoplastic whose applications and fields of application spread across a wide variety of industries: packaging, automobile, textiles, and consumer goods.  In recent years, polypropylene has shown significant volatility in the market. 1.  Factors influencing polypropylene price 1.1.  Crude oil and natural gas prices Polypro...

After all, they may be used in rugged products and subsystem components, such as bearings made of alloys such as steel and bronze. Or they simply don't think plastic can handle harsh applications or extreme environmental conditions. But the fact is that modern plastic bearings (especially plastic ball bearings) can withstand extreme temperatures, heavy loads and high speeds. However, it is importa...

Filling glass fiber (GF) to polypropylene (PP) is a common reinforcement method aimed at improving the material's mechanical properties, such as rigidity, strength, and heat resistance. However, the addition of glass fiber can indeed affect the material's toughness and fracture behavior, potentially making it more brittle. Polypropylene filling Long Glass Fiber Pellets Performance Changes of Glass...

Since gaining attention after the COVID-19 , Pickleball has quickly become a popular sport, blending elements of tennis, badminton, and table tennis—a true "hybrid" game.  According to Market. us, the pickleball market is projected to reach a scale of $4 billion over the next decade, with paddles accounting for 12% of the market share. The use of advanced composite materials in pickleball pad...
