| | Washington Penn Plastics has lowered costs for companies in dozens of industries by custom-designing compounded polypropylene and polyethylene products for each application.
The key is to understand the specific requirements of each application, and to know which fillers meet the performance specifications. For example, the addition of talc provides a significant increase in stiffness and high temperature performance of polypropylene. Due to the stiffness increase, talc can be used to decrease part thickness while maintaining part integrity, and providing cost savings. Typical applications for talc-filled polypropylene are high-heat environments, such as under-the-hood automotive parts, appliance components, and thermoformed packaging products including microwaveable products.
Other fillings include TPO, calcium carbonate, mica and other minerals, glass fiber and flame retardants. With offices and factories in Jiangsu, China, Nuevo Leon, Mexico, Bratislava, Slovak Republic and the US. Washington Penn Plastic Co. serves companies in these industries: Appliance, Automotive, Construction, Consumer Housewares and Disposables, Industrial, Institutional and Electronic, Spa and many others. | |
