...erformed on glass-reinforced polypropylene semi-finished fabric (grade: Tepex dynalite, 47 vol.-% GF; manufacturer: Bond Laminates) for the forming structure and a short glass fiber-reinforced polypropylene with a fiber content of 30 wt.-% (grade: Hostacom PC072 / 3; manufacturer: Basell) for the rib material. Preheating by means of thermocouples was studied systematically on the surface of the preheated organo-sheets (Fig. 5). This revealed the influence of heating duration, heater power and ra...

...tests, it could be demonstrated that the energy absorption capacity during impact can be increased by up to 1,000 % compared to short fiber-reinforced PP, though the fiber volume content, at 6 to 10 %, was clearly below the reference (13 % Hostacom G3R11) (Fig. 3.: the absorbed energy corresponds to the area beneath the force/displacement curve). Temag composites are thus ideally suited for crash-loaded parts. It is conceivable to use, e.g., measures for splinter protection or for protection aga...

...th by 50 to 65 %, while reducing molded part weight up to 23 % (Fig. 3).Uniform foam structure results from combining the Hyperform HPR-803i reinforcing filler with the chemical blowing agent Hydrocerol and then core-back molding the PP compound Hostacom TYC 469F from Basell Polyolefins GmbH of Wesseling, Germany. This results in better mechanical properties when compared with simple talc-filled PP compounds (Fig. 4). Conclusion When the chemical blowing agent Hydrocerol is used, the foam struct...

...rs. Excellent design quality and sophisticated processing combine to make the difference between high-quality and cheap plastics visible to the customer.These goals proved achievable in the joint project when the glass-fiber-reinforced PP compound Hostacom ERG 393F from LyondellBasell was used. In contrast to commercial compounds, this material does not or to a much smaller extent, exhibit typical glass-fiber-streaking. This optical property accesses a new area of automotive applications: struct...

...ove that the InMould-Plasma process creates a lasting bond between the molded-on TPU gasket and the PP bottom module, the KTP studied hard/soft peel-test specimens made from PP filled with 40 wt. % talcum (PP-T40) and TPU (type: Hostacom HBC 386L grey/Desmopan 481; manufacturer: LyondellBasell Industries Holdings B. V. and Covestro AG). These were manufactured in a modular, three-station 2-component injection mold with integrated plasma nozzle by Plasmatreat (Fig. 4). At the first station of the...
