FEATURE “Natural Fibres & Environment” Combining polypropylene and natural fibre in automotive applications Daimaster is a masterbatch compound that contains 40% polypropylene and 60% natural fibre (hemp). It has to be mixed with pure polypropylene during the injection/extrusion process to reach 20-60% natural fibre content in the final part. Optimum performance levels can be achieved with 30% natural fibre content for injection and 60% for extrusion. s an example, 50% Daimaster can be mixed with 50% polypropylene on the injection press to get a part containing 30% natural fibre. The natural fibre content and polypropylene type can be balanced to match the required specifications, and at the same time optimize cost and technical performance. Daifa manufactures and/or supplies three standard masterbatches and four pure polypropylene materials intended for impact and flexural applications, using natural hemp fibre and polypropylene from TP and LB. This approach makes it possible to control sourcing and performance levels. Customized or specific masterbatches can also be manufactured based on individual customer specifications, using other types of natural fibres such as wood, kenaf, jute, or sisal, and various plastic resins, including polypropylene, polyethylene, and PVC. Main benefits Using natural fibre instead of glass fibre in Daimaster brings the following benefits: - 10-30% part cost reduction due to the use of a lighter, low-cost material; Shape – DAIMASTER PP40%.NF60% Table: Main features: toughened composite assembly adhesive. - 10-30% weight saving, as the density of PP/GF is about 1.2 compared to about 1 for PP/NF; Daimaster + Daiflex Flexural applications Part density Bulk density Flexural modulus MFI2 Notched charpy impact Unnotched charpy impact Production capacity QA ISO 1183/A ISO 1183 ISO 178 ISO 1133 ISO 179/1eA-23° ISO 179/1eU-23° 15,000 T/year Unit g/cm3 g/cm 40-50% 0% NF 25% NF 40% NF - improved performance: the flexural modulus of NF PP/NF is about 3,800 MPa versus 3,600 MPa for 0,950,950,905 0,95-1,05 PP/GF; 1,05 1,05 0,25-0,30 - improved dimensional stability and faster 3,800demoulding of parts; 4,800 20-25 3-5 13-15 MPa g/10 min KJ/m2 KJ/m2 1,600 55 3 14 2,720 41 3,1 13,5 3,913 31 3,5 15 - processing/energy cost savings due to lower injection temperatures; - reduced environmental impact (lower CO2 emissions, improved eco-balance); - marketing arguments.
