Fibres Recherche Developpement GREEN B

Fibres Recherche Developpement GREEN B is a collection of fractions designed to be used as reinforcement or filler in thermoplastic materials. These powders with a particle size less than 2 mm can come from European species (hemp, flax...) as well as exotic species. These powders, which are round or needle-shaped, are designed for extrusion processes and can be used to improve the mechanical properties of polymer matrices or increase the viscosity of the molten blend..
