Compounding Project

PP Compounding

PP compounds are usually made on special compounding equipment and

at specialized and experienced compounding companies.

Products designed mainly for automotive and electrical appliances – these

are tailor made products

The requirements of such applications need to formulate the PP resin in

appropriate way and may contain one or several ingredients such:

Mineral Fillers (talk, mica, wollastonite, chalk,…)

Glass Fibers (short, long, treated, non treated)

Rubbers (EPR, EPDM,…)

Pigments (carbon black, TiO2,…)

UV stabilizers (HALS, UV’s,…)

Long Term Heat Stabilizers

Novolen based PP products are able to supply very broad range of high

quality raw materials for all kind of PP compounds
