For Brand owners and product manufactures

WHAT IS a FibraQ PP/PE compound?

Compounded formulation comprising polypropylene or polyethylene with 20-30 wt% FibraQ mixed via a Twin-screw extruder. The compounds also include 2% coupling agent. No further additives were used, such as impact modifier or flowability aids, though they could be used to further improve some of the properties.


FibraQ is Biofiber Tech´s product, consisting of surface-modified wood fibers with enhanced hydrophobicity, low moisture absorption and high flowability within polymer matrices.
