Customer PortalThermylene® represents Asahi Kasei's family of award winning chemically coupled glass reinforced polypropylenes (PP). When chemical coupling technology is applied to glass fiber reinforced polypropylene, significant improvements are seen across a number of key physical attributes.The enhanced compound properties yield an attractive balance of cost and performance compared to conventional engineering thermoplastics.
Glass fiber (GF) is the most widely used reinforcement in polypropylene (PP)-based composites as it provides a valuable balance between costs and properties. Glass-fiber-reinforced polypropylene compounds deliver improved strength, structural rigidity and dimensional stability in applications.
The key performance in glass-reinforced polypropylene compounds is delivered by the efficacy of formulation design and polymer fiber interphase. Thermylene® products provide increased durability, strength and stiffness for critical structural components. Glass-fiber-reinforced polypropylene compounds have significantly improved flexural modulus and tensile strength because of superior design and state-of-the-art production technologies applied by Asahi Kasei.
Thermylene® brand represents our fiber-reinforced polypropylene compounds that go above and beyond traditional polypropylene glass-reinforced commodity products. Thermylene® glass-fiber-reinforced polypropylenes carry the following benefits:
Our Thermylene® grades offer the following grades:
