... sustainable fiber that would solve this problem. The mechanical properties of natural fibers often depend on factors such as climate, harvest conditions or weak points due to growth anomalies. The raw material of Tencel FCP (Fibrous Cellulose Powder) is wood, which is converted into a cellulosic fiber in an environment-friendly process. Through this process, all limiting factors of natural fibers are eliminated. Tencel FCP is produced from pure cellulose, this increases the thermal stability of...

...in terms of long-term and UV stability, too. The Development Goes OnApart from optimizing matrix material and phasing, crucial improvements to the fibers may also be possible. Special cellulose regenerate fibers such as, most of all, the Tencel microfiber by Lenzing AG in Lenzing, Austria, include the option to further enhance the potentials of NPP properties and applications. On a PP homopolymer basis, this group of materials can yield the highest performance in terms of impact resistance as w...

...Fig. 6, right) reveals clear differences in terms of type as well as the fiber filling content. The fiber compounds were produced using a low-flow polypropylene (type: PP HB 600 TF, producer: Borealis) and cellulose fibers (type: Tencel, producer: Lenzing AG, Lenzing, Austria), plus conventional chopped glass fibers.Application Possibilities for the Extrusion RheometerThe application examples clearly illustrate that the novel online elongation and shear rheometer represents a useful further dev...
