Glass fiber reinforced polypropylene compound (BATOLEN) is a widely used engineering thermoplastic for manufacturing components through the plastic injection molding process. It is utilized in the electrical and electronics, automotive, and home appliance industries. This compound is made from polypropylene derivatives such as homopolymer and copolymer, depending on the desired properties. Glass fibers play a significant role in enhancing the mechanical properties, thermal resistance, and providing electrical insulation in the polypropylene compound. The knowledge-based company, Baspar Tose’e Davam Shimi, in addition to the existing grades, is capable of custom designing and producing various reinforced polypropylene compounds to meet the diverse needs of its customers.
Glass fiber reinforced polypropylene compound is a type of engineering blend that not only possesses good mechanical properties but is also resistant to most acids and bases. In addition to glass fiber reinforced polypropylene compounds, there is a wide variety of polypropylene compounds reinforced with talc and calcium carbonate available in the product portfolio. Baspar Tose’e Davam Shimi Company is capable of providing various types of fiber-reinforced polypropylene compounds, including homopolymer and copolymer variants, with glass fiber content ranging from 10% to 40% by weight. The engineering industry's need for components with high mechanical properties has driven us to consistently focus on supplying and producing various types of glass fiber reinforced polypropylene compounds and other high-quality mineral reinforcements with customization options. Engineering polypropylene compounds are available in a range of colors, including black, for both domestic and international markets. The engineers at Baspar Tose’e Davam Shimi are always striving to provide the most suitable grades of reinforced polypropylene compounds for the production of prefabricated and final parts through injection molding to consumers and engineers in manufacturing sectors. It is worth mentioning that designing and producing formulations tailored to customer specifications, as well as consulting and offering the best processing conditions to clients, are additional services provided by Baspar Tose’e Davam Shimi, carried out by the company's research and development team. Below, some of the properties of glass fiber reinforced polypropylene compounds are highlighted.
