What Is PP-TD20? Mineral-Filled Polypropylene Explained
TD stands for talc and 20 for 20% loading. Mineral filling brings polypropylene stiffness, heat resistance and dimensional stability.
Grade-by-grade notes and applications across PP, PA, PC, ABS, PC/ABS and PPS.

TD stands for talc and 20 for 20% loading. Mineral filling brings polypropylene stiffness, heat resistance and dimensional stability.

GF50 adds about 60% stiffness but loses flow, worsens fibre show and doubles tool wear — worth it only in specific cases.

Commodity PP is cheap but cannot carry structural loads. Knowing what it lacks tells you what to add.

Four routes can be used alone or combined; the order and limit of combination set the performance ceiling.

V-0, V-2, 5VA and 5VB are not the same axis. Change wall thickness, colour or batch and the yellow card finding has to be re-established.

UL94 is not a single certificate but a yellow card system registered by material, colour and thickness — lock it down early when exporting electrical parts.

Dropping the paint line cuts piece cost sharply, but raises the bar on surface quality and weathering.

Different zones of one door panel demand very different properties — worth understanding before specifying.

Bigger is harder. Flow length, warpage and flame retardance collide most visibly in TV back covers.

Rotating parts need creep resistance and dynamic balance — mineral-filled PP cannot deliver, glass fibre is mandatory.
