Mitsui Chemicals, Inc. has informed that joint venture Prime Polymer Co., Ltd. intends to establish new production facilities for its MOSTRON-L glass fiber reinforced polypropylene (GFPP).

Beyond a low specific gravity that allows the material to be used for lightweighting, it also offers an attractive appearance with long glass fibers providing a good balance between hardness and impact resistance. The product is already being adopted in areas such as the unpainted insides of rear car doors. Prime Polymer is positioning MOSTRON-L as a strategic product going forward and is working to further reinforce and expand its business for the product.
