Nepol™ GB415HP Borealis Polypropylene, Unspecified (Long Glass Fiber, 40%)

Product Description

Nepol GB415HP is a special long glass fibre reinforced polypropylene grade, produced using Borealis Proprietary and exclusive, patented Nepol technology intended for injection moulding and extrusion. The glass fibres are chemically coupled to the polypropylene matrix. The grade is equipped with an extraordinary long-term high heat stabilisation package. Nepol GB415HP is providing outstanding mechanical properties such as high strength and high stiffness, excellent impact resistance and in addition outstanding performance in odour emission and fogging.

The excellent properties of Nepol GB415HP make it suitable for: Structural parts in automotive interior such as dashboard carrier, door module carrier or structural seat parts.

Nepol GB415HP is suitable as well for extrusion of profiles requiring very high stiffness, very high impact strength and low density. Due to its excellent combination of properties, Nepol GB415HP can, in many of these applications, substitute other engineering plastics or metal alloys.
