SABIC G3230AE Short Glass Modified PP Resin

Physical Properties

• Density: Measured by ISO 1183, 1.12 g/cc density is optimized for under – hood applications with low emissions.
• Filler Content: As determined by the SABIC method, 30% fiber content enhances the performance of under – hood parts.
• Linear Mold Shrinkage: For 65x65x3.2mm plaques, 0.0060 cm/cm shrinkage ensures dimensional stability.
• Melt Flow: According to ISO 1133, at 230°C with 2.16 kg load, 12 g/10 min melt flow enables good molding.

Polymer Properties:

1. Base Material: Polypropylene (PP) 
2. Reinforcement: 30% Short Glass Fiber
3. Modification Features:
   
   • 30% glass fiber for increased strength and rigidity
   • Chemically – coupled fibers for better matrix integration
   • Optimized for low emission values
   • Combines good performance with fast processing

Applications:

The combination of very high stiffness, heat resistance, and dimensional stability makes SABIC G3230AE an excellent choice for a variety of structural and load-bearing applications, particularly in the automotive and appliance sectors.

• Automotive Parts: This material is commonly used for under-the-hood components such as air intake manifolds and engine covers that require high rigidity and thermal stability.
• Appliance Housings: It is ideal for housings of appliances like washing machines or vacuum cleaners where a rigid, durable casing is necessary to protect internal components.
• Power Tool Casings: It is also suitable for parts that require high strength and rigidity to withstand stress and protect the motor and other internal mechanisms.
