GMW15988

Description / Abstract: GMW15988, 3rd Edition, October 2018 - Blend of Polypropylene and Ethylene-Propylene Rubber, UV Stabilized, Heat Stabilized

Material Description

This specification covers the properties of UV stabilized blends of polypropylene and ethylene-propylene rubber (EPR) and blends of polypropylene and EPR filled with glass fibers. It covers injection molding types for manufacturing of technical parts requiring a specific surface feel, e.g., soft touch applications.

Symbols

The material abbreviations according to ISO 11469 are shown in Table 1.

Applicability

Typical applications include the following: interior trim. The differences between the Types are based on the different Tensile Modulus (stiffness) ranges as defined in Table 1.
