Durable Glass Fiber Reinforced PP Gf Polypropylene Compounds For Furniture Components

Durable GF Reinforced Polypropylene Compounds For Furniture Components

Product Description

Durable Glass Fiber Reinforced Polypropylene compounds provide enhanced strength, rigidity, and fatigue resistance, making them suitable for high-performance furniture components. By integrating 15–35% glass fibers, this material achieves a unique combination of lightweight and load-bearing capacity, ensuring long service life even under continuous use. It is frequently applied in chair frames, table legs, and storage components that require structural integrity.

Properties Data Sheet

Notes: The general guidelines are only for reference. Exact settings have to follow the product and machine conditions.

Avoid contact with other materials, dust and debris in the injection processing.

Avoid long time stay in the barrel in the injection processing.

Precautions

Material should be pre-dried at 80°C for 2–4 hours before injection molding. Designers should ensure wall thickness uniformity to prevent stress concentration and potential cracking. When exposed to outdoor environments, UV-stabilized variants are recommended to maintain long-term color and performance. Avoid contact with strong oxidizing agents during service.

Features, Advantages & Properties

• Superior rigidity compared to unfilled PP

• Long-term fatigue resistance for repeated stress applications

• Lightweight alternative to metals and solid wood

• Good chemical resistance against household cleaners

• Moldable into complex shapes with smooth surface finish

• Available in multiple furniture-grade colors (black, brown, beige, grey)

Working Principle & Applications

The glass fiber reinforcement distributes load stresses, enhancing fatigue resistance and preventing creep deformation. This ensures furniture components retain their shape and strength over years of use. Typical applications include office chair arms, cabinet frames, modular furniture joints, and heavy-duty plastic furniture bases. Its durability and cost-effectiveness make it a preferred material for modern furniture manufacturing.
