Material use
Use this ready-to-process compound directly, or blend it with pure PP in any proportion to adjust the fiber concentration and molded appearance. Run a molding trial after changing the blend ratio.
Wood Fiber PP Composite P179302
WYC-PP P179302
Wood Fiber PP P179302 combines polypropylene with natural wood fiber, giving molded parts visible wood particles, subtle natural color variation and a distinctive wood-like appearance. The material can also retain a mild natural wood aroma, helping finished products feel less like conventional plastic. It maintains the practical toughness and formability required for everyday injection-molded products while adding a recognizable natural-material character. Typical applications include pet accessories, clothes hangers, storage products, household items and decorative molded parts.

Usage Guidelines and Processing Notes
Color matching
Color matching is supported. Because the natural base is light, most color families can be developed, although the plant particles remain visible and may shift the final shade. Confirm the target with a molded color sample.
Processing method
Injection molding and extrusion.
Mold care
Use hardened, corrosion-resistant mold steel. Clean the mold promptly after processing, because plant-fiber composite material left in the tooling can corrode the mold if it is not removed in time.
Reference Processing Temperatures
| Stage | Reference setting |
|---|---|
| Drying | 100–110 °C for 4–5 h |
| Rear zone | 165–175 °C |
| Middle zone | 165–175 °C |
| Front zone | 175–185 °C |
| Nozzle | 175–185 °C |
| Mold | 70–80 °C |
Important: These settings are starting references only. Adjust them for the machine, mold, part geometry and residence time. Excessive temperature or residence time can scorch or carbonize the plant fiber; begin at the lower end and increase only as needed.
