Mineral filled polypropylene (PP) materials are composite materials that combine polypropylene with various mineral fillers to enhance its mechanical and thermal properties. The addition of mineral fillers can significantly improve the performance characteristics of polypropylene, making it suitable for more demanding applications.
General Characteristics
Enhanced Mechanical Properties: Mineral fillers can improve the stiffness, strength, and dimensional stability of polypropylene.
Thermal Stability: Increased resistance to heat and reduced thermal expansion make it suitable for high-temperature applications.
Improved Processability: Mineral fillers can enhance the flow properties of polypropylene, making it easier to mold and process.
Reduced Shrinkage: The presence of fillers helps in reducing shrinkage during cooling, leading to better dimensional accuracy.
Cost-Effectiveness: Adding mineral fillers can reduce the overall cost of the material by replacing some of the more expensive polymer content.
General Applications
Automotive Industry: Used in under-the-hood components, interior parts, and structural elements due to its enhanced strength and thermal resistance.
Electrical and Electronics: Employed in housings, connectors, and other components that require improved dimensional stability and thermal properties.
