Thermylene^®

Product Finder

Thermylene^® represents a family of specialty chemically coupled glass reinforced polypropylenes (PP). When chemical coupling technology is applied to glass fiber reinforced polypropylene, significant improvements are seen across a number of key physical attributes. The enhanced properties of these polymers yield an extremely attractive cost/performance balance when compared to traditional engineering thermoplastics. Thermylene^® improves the ability of molded parts to resist distortion under load and provides a pronounced improvement in elevated-temperature performance.

Key Attributes:
The enhanced adhesion between the glass fiber reinforcement and the polypropylene matrix results in a material that exhibits the following characteristics:

Superior Knit Line Strength and Stiffness
Improved Elevated Temperature Performance
Higher Creep Resistance
Enhanced Toughness
Excellent Chemical Resistance
Enhanced Tensile Strength (nearly twice that of non-chemically coupled polymers)
