...forced PP. If strength in combination with especially robust mechanical properties and low weight is required, for example for tailgates, the gold standard is fiber reinforced PP. The Borealis Fibremod range contains short glass, long glass, and carbon fiber-reinforced PP compounds with varying strengths. For instance, Fibremod GB477HP: a 40 % short glass fiber compound offering very good stiffness, impact performance, dimensional stability and long-term heat aging resistance. It is ideal for us...

...ection molding process. Consequently, the front third of the center console is an integral part of the dashboard.Product DescriptionThe core of the dashboard – the dashboard carrier – consists of a polypropylene (PP-LGF30) compound (grade: Fibremod GB601HP and BE677AI, manufacturer: Borealis Polyolefine GmbH) reinforced with 30% long glass fiber and produced with the compact injection molding process. Selection of this specific material was based on safety-relevant requirements (passenger airbag...

...nue, the property profile of PP must be expanded, and it is necessary to gain a deeper understanding of the interaction between structure, processing and part properties. Materials reinforced with long glass fibers, such as Fibremod from Borealis or Stamax from Sabic, were the "ultima ratio" to date, even though tests with new and even more efficient reinforcing fibers have been continually performed.To allow the replacement of traditional materials such as metals or other plastics (polyamide, p...
