Short glass fiber reinforced polypropylene (SGFPP) has a wide range of applications, but there is still a risk of being replaced in the future.

Glass fiber reinforced polypropylene (GFPP) is a polymer composite material made of polypropylene (PP) as the matrix and adding a certain amount of glass fiber and other additives. The length of glass fiber fiber is an important factor in determining the performance of GFPP materials. According to the different lengths of glass fiber fibers, glass fiber reinforced polypropylene can be divided into short glass fiber reinforced polypropylene (SGFPP) and long glass fiber reinforced polypropylene (LGFPP). Among them, short glass fiber reinforced polypropylene Glass fiber reinforced polypropylene refers to glass fiber reinforced polypropylene with a fiber length between 0.2-0.6mm.

Short glass fiber reinforced polypropylene has good wear resistance, creep resistance, fatigue resistance, corrosion resistance and electrical insulation. It is also lightweight and has high rigidity/specific strength. Based on its excellent properties, short glass fiber reinforced polypropylene Propylene gradually replaces engineering plastics and metal materials and is increasingly used in automobile manufacturing, household appliances, electronic products, daily necessities, construction engineering, instrumentation and other fields.

However, short glass fiber reinforced polypropylene is inferior to long glass fiber reinforced polypropylene in terms of strength, stiffness, warpage, fatigue resistance, and dimensional stability. As demand escalates, short glass fiber reinforced polypropylene is outnumbered by long glass fiber reinforced polypropylene. Risk of substitution. The preparation process of short glass fiber reinforced polypropylene includes extrusion process, injection molding process, foaming process, etc. With the continuous deepening of research, new preparation processes of short glass fiber reinforced polypropylene have attracted market attention, such as water-assisted co-injection molding technology.

According to the “2022-2026 China Short Glass Fiber Reinforced Polypropylene (SGFPP) Industry Market Monitoring and Future Development Prospects Research Report released by the Industrial Research Center 》shows that the global short glass fiber reinforced polypropylene market is mainly distributed in North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific and other regions. In the international market, there are many suppliers of short glass fiber reinforced polypropylene, including Saudi Basic Industries Corporation, BASF of Germany. , DSM, Germany’s Lanxess Group, DuPont, etc. In the domestic market, the short glass fiber reinforced polypropylene market is mainly distributed in the Yangtze River Delta, Pearl River Delta and Bohai Rim regions. Relevant suppliers include Shanghai Plite Composite Materials, Kingfa Technology Co., Ltd., Qingdao Zhongxin Huamei, etc.

In recent years, the electric vehicle market has developed rapidly. With the application and development of lightweight materials, lightweighting has become one of the mainstream directions of automobile development. Against this background, the market has put forward higher requirements for the performance of short glass fiber reinforced polypropylene, and backward production capacity It will be gradually marketed. At present, the performance improvements of short glass fiber reinforced polypropylene are mainly reflected in the optimization of production processes, changes in process parameters, and improvements in related materials.

Industry analysts said that short glass fiber reinforced polypropylene is an excellent substitute for engineering plastics and metal materials and is widely used in automobiles and household appliances. , daily necessities and other fields, but as downstream demand upgrades, short glass fiber reinforced polypropylene also faces the risk of being replaced by other excellent materials. There are many short glass fiber reinforced polypropylene manufacturers. In the context of escalating demand and intensified competition, companies with advantages in technology, quality, scale, brand effect and other advantages have more development advantages.
