PCC improves stiffness and impact in polypropylene and adds impact strength to rigid polyvinyl chloride for such applications as window profiles and siding. Once encapsulated in the plastic, however, the compound pellets can easily be fed into an extruder or molding machine. Minimize equipment wear by using hardened or abrasion-resistant materials and coatings for extruder barrels and screws and mold tools.

Home // Automotive Windshields to Post-Consumer Recycled Content TPEs These injection moldable TPEs can be overmolded to polypropylene (PP) and come in a natural grade that can be easily colored. These new TPEs contain 25 percent post-consumer recycled (PCR) content from PVB reclaimed from broken automotive windshields and laminated architectural glass.

The automated pultrusion process fabricates continuous glass or carbon fiber-reinforced, constant cross-section profiles with consistent, uniform properties. Each cradle brace is a two-foot long, rectangular bar with a “U” shape machined into our engineering team developed and analyzed three options: a unidirectional, hybrid carbon and glass fiber profile; a unidirectional carbon fiber profile; and finally, a profile made with both a unidirectional carbon fiber and a transverse engineered fabric, which had the advantage of minimizing any potential cracks from propagating. The third profile was also 41% lighter than aluminum, with a 50% increase in flexural stiffness, and maintained torsional rigidity slightly better than that of aluminum.
