SABIC 3720E Short Glass Modified PP Resin

SABIC 3720E is a short glass fiber-reinforced polypropylene (PP) homopolymer from SABIC, specifically designed for injection molding applications.

Physical Properties

  • Density: Measured in line with ISO 1183, the density is 1.04 g/cc, which impacts weight and related properties in applications.
  • Filler Content: As determined by the SABIC method, the filler content is 20%, enhancing mechanical and processing characteristics.
  • Linear Mold Shrinkage: For 65x65x3.2mm injection – molded plaques, the shrinkage is 0.011 cm/cm, crucial for dimensional accuracy.
  • Melt Flow: According to ISO 1133, at 230°C with a 2.16 kg load, the melt flow is 18 g/10 min, ensuring good processability.

Polymer Properties:

  1. Base Material: Polypropylene (PP)
  2. Reinforcement: short Glass Fiber
  3. Modification Features:
    • Mineral filler addition for enhanced stiffness
    • Exhibits low emission and fogging characteristics
    • Offers an excellent stiffness – to – impact ratio
    • Specifically modified for automotive interior use

Applications:

  1. Automotive: Employed for non – aesthetic automotive interior components like glove box interiors, benefiting from low emissions.
  2. Industrial Equipment: Utilized in the manufacturing of enclosures where both stiffness and low fogging are crucial requirements.
  3. Consumer Goods: Applied in making inner parts of household appliances, providing a good balance between stiffness and impact resistance.
