How to choose the right PP compound for your line

An injection or other polypropylene line needs a grade that covers processability, mechanical properties, and cost together. Sabin Polymer Arvand’s catalog lists four PP compound families: talc-reinforced, calcium carbonate-reinforced, glass fiber-reinforced, and high-impact.

Matching family to industry

Talc and carbonate grades are positioned for automotive and home appliances; carbonate is also listed for packaging. Glass fiber targets stiffer, higher-strength parts in automotive and appliances. High-impact PP is listed for automotive and agriculture, where impact resistance matters.

Featured grade SPP-IM is one impact-modified recycled path. Final selection should follow part geometry, tooling, and laboratory tests. Technical services include custom formulation and mechanical/process optimization.
