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:
- Base Material: Polypropylene (PP)
- Reinforcement: 30% Short Glass Fiber
- Modification Features:
- 30% glass fiber for enhanced strength and rigidity
- Chemically – coupled fibers for improved matrix adhesion
