SABIC G3230A Short Glass Modified PP Resin

SABIC G3230A Short Glass Modified PP is a 30% short glass fiber reinforced polypropylene (PP) polymer produced by SABIC (Saudi Basic Industries Corporation).

Physical Properties

  • Density: Measured following ISO 1183, 1.13 g/cc density with 30% fiber is for tough under – hood parts.
  • Filler Content: The SABIC – determined 30% fiber content boosts the mechanical properties of under – hood parts.
  • Linear Mold Shrinkage: For 65x65x3.2mm plaques, 0.0060 cm/cm shrinkage ensures the stability of under – hood assemblies.
  • Melt Flow: Based on ISO 1133, at 230°C under 2.16 kg load, 11 g/10 min melt flow is suitable for molding.

Polymer Properties:

  1. Base Material: Polypropylene (PP) 
  2. Reinforcement: 30% Short Glass Fiber
  3. Modification Features:
    • 30% glass fiber for enhanced strength and rigidity
    • Chemically – coupled fibers for improved matrix adhesion
    • Good performance profile for demanding applications
    • Enables fast processing for efficiency

Applications:

The combination of very high stiffness, heat resistance, and dimensional stability makes SABIC G3230A an excellent choice for a variety of structural and load-bearing applications, particularly in the automotive and industrial sectors.

  • Automotive Parts: This material is commonly used for under-the-hood components such as air intake manifolds, engine covers, and fan shrouds that require high rigidity and thermal stability.
  • Appliance Housings: 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: Suitable for parts that require high strength and rigidity to withstand stress and protect the motor and other internal mechanisms.
