Chopped strands are used as reinforcements in thermoplastics and thermoset molding compounds.

1. COMPOSITION AND PRESENTATION

Chopped strands are used as reinforcements in thermoplastics and thermoset molding compounds to produce melded parts for electrical, mechanical and chemical resistant applications in transportation, appliance, business machine, farm equipment and electrical, construction industries.

2. PROPERTIES & APPLICATION

Properties:

--Good strand integrity, low static and good flowability,

--Good processing and mechanical properties,

--Fast and uniform distribution in resins,

--Good bonding with resins.

Application:

Chopped strands for PP, PBT,PET, PA are mainly used in injection and compression molding process and its typical end-use applications include automotive industry, home-appliances, valves, pump house, chemical corrosion resistance and sports apparatus. Chopped strands for BMC/DMC are mainly used in injection and compression molding process and it is typically used to produce various electrical parts.
