Nepol™ GB215HP Borealis Polypropylene, Unspecified (Long Glass Fiber, 20%)

Product Description

Nepol GB215HP is a 20 % long glass fibre reinforced polypropylene grade intended for injection moulding and extrusion. The long glass fibres, chemically coupled to the polypropylene matrix, are providing outstanding mechanical properties such as high strength, high stiffness and excellent impact behaviour.

Due to its excellent combination of properties this material can substitute in many applications other engineering plastics or metal alloys. A significant value of this material is the fact that it does not change its mechanical properties at humid conditions or water contact.
