Thermylene®

Thermylene® represents Asahi Kasei's family of award winning 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 compound properties yield an attractive balance of cost and performance compared to conventional engineering thermoplastics.

What Is Glass-Reinforced Polypropylene?

Glass fiber (GF) is the most widely used reinforcement in polypropylene (PP)-based composites as it provides a valuable balance between costs and properties. Glass-fiber-reinforced polypropylene compounds deliver improved strength, structural rigidity and dimensional stability in applications.

The key performance in glass-reinforced polypropylene compounds is delivered by the efficacy of formulation design and polymer fiber interphase. Thermylene® products provide increased durability, strength and stiffness for critical structural components. Glass-fiber-reinforced polypropylene compounds have significantly improved flexural modulus and tensile strength because of superior design and state-of-the-art production technologies applied by Asahi Kasei.

Critical Benefits of Long Glass-Fiber-Reinforced Polypropylene

Thermylene® brand represents our fiber-reinforced polypropylene compounds that go above and beyond traditional polypropylene glass-reinforced commodity products. Thermylene® glass-fiber-reinforced polypropylenes carry the following benefits:

  • Increased Modulus
  • Ease of Processing
  • Engineered Resins Replacement
  • Chemical Resistance
  • Better Economics

Unique Capabilities:

  • Superior Strength and Stiffness
  • Improved Elevated Temperature Performance
  • Higher Creep Resistance
  • Enhanced Toughness
  • Excellent Chemical Resistance
  • Enhanced Tensile Strength

Applications:

Our Thermylene® grades offer the following grades:

  • Glass-Reinforced: Thermylene® P10 offers chemical resistance for bed frames; Thermylene® Soform™ provides a soft touch to bed grab handlesThermylene
  • TPO: Thermylene® TPO for cold temperature impact applications like bumpers; Thermylene® TPO for weathering capabilities for mirror assemblyThermylene Trucks
  • Specialty Grades: Thermylene® stress-whitening prevention (SWP) is designed to eliminate stress whitening defect in molded applications, such as chair frames; Thermylene® P8/P10 delivers superior strength for chair armrest applications; Thermylene® Soform™ provides a soft touch for chair seat shellsThermylene OfficePP Matrix & Glass-Fiber Reinforcement
