High Rigidity Mineral Filled Polypropylene Compounds MFPP Pp Granules

Mineral Filled Polypropylene Compounds With High Rigidity For Appliance Parts

Product Description

Mineral Filled Polypropylene (MFPP) compounds with high rigidity are specialized thermoplastics designed for appliance parts requiring superior stiffness, reduced warpage, and dimensional stability. By incorporating mineral fillers such as talc, calcium carbonate, or wollastonite into the polypropylene matrix (typically 10–40% by weight), the material achieves a balance of cost-effectiveness and enhanced mechanical performance. These compounds are widely used in washing machine panels, refrigerator drawers, vacuum cleaner shells, and microwave oven accessories where rigidity and long-term reliability are critical.

Properties Data Sheet

Precautions

Before injection molding, the granules should be dried at 80°C for 2–3 hours to avoid moisture-related defects. Proper mold temperature control is essential to reduce shrinkage variation and ensure smooth surface finish. Sharp corners should be avoided in part design to minimize stress concentration. For visible appliance parts, UV-stabilized and color-matched grades should be selected to prevent fading and discoloration over time.

Features, Advantages & Properties

• Increased rigidity compared to standard PP
• Low shrinkage and warpage for precise appliance housings
• Heat deflection temperature up to 120°C
• Good scratch resistance and smooth surface finish
• Excellent cost-to-performance ratio compared to engineering plastics
• Available in natural, white, grey, and customized appliance colors

Working Principle & Applications

Mineral fillers act as reinforcing agents, restricting polymer chain mobility and reducing shrinkage, thereby enhancing rigidity and dimensional stability. This makes MFPP particularly suitable for appliance covers, trays, handles, and structural panels. It ensures that appliance parts retain their shape under repeated use, temperature fluctuations, and mechanical loads, making it an ideal choice for modern household appliance manufacturing.
