General Information
Product Description
Material code according to ISO 1043-1: PP Polypropylene Homopolymer reinforced with 40 weight percent long glass fibers. The fibers are
chemically coupled to the polypropylene matrix. The pellets are cylindrical and normally as well as the embedded fibers 10 mm long. (-0414 = heat
stabilized) natural Parts molded of CELSTRAN have outstanding mechanical properties such as high strength and stiffness combined with high heat
deflection. The notched impact strength is increased at elevated and low temperatures due to the fiber skeleton built in the parts. The long fiber
reinforcement reduces creep significantly. The very isotropic shrinkage in the molded parts minimizes the warpage.
Complex parts can be manufactured with high reproducibility by injection molding. Application field: Functional/structural parts for automotive
