Product Description
SABIC® PPcompound 8600 is a mineral filled modified polypropylene. This material combines high flow with a high impact, high stiffness level and a very low shrinkage and CLTE. This material has a very broad processing window with a reasonable esthical performance. Typical applications include automotive exterior parts such as large thin wall zero gap bumper designs and vertical body panels. It can be used in painted and unpainted applications with UV stabilization added on demand.

SABIC® PPcompound 8600 is a designated automotive grade.
