Grades

ARPRO® is available in a range of special Grades, engineered to serve specific requirements such as electromagnetic or flame-retardant characteristics and other demanding applications. New grades can be created to deliver a unique solution for a single customer's requirement.

> recycled

Recycled content ARPRO® with no performance loss or additional cost

Recycled content ARPRO® allows users to fulfil recycled-material strategies, while maintaining strength, durability and moulding characteristics. Recycled content ARPRO® is targeted at automotive and other industries where legislation and customer demand for recycled materials is increasing.

 

> porous

Over a 400 Hz to 10,000 Hz frequency range, ARPRO Porous is up to ten times more sound absorbent than normal ARPRO.

ARPRO® Porous is highly durable and resists multiple impacts without damage. Unlike many other acoustical materials, ARPRO® Porous is not fibrous, discharges no particles when abraded, and requires no significant installation structure, as it is rigid and self-supporting.

 

> anti-static

ARPRO® Anti-Static grade enables nominal electricity conduction to prevent static discharge.

ARPRO® Anti-Static contains additives that reduce surface resistivity to a range from 109 to 1012 Ω/square and promote rapid static decay to protect against sparking. ARPRO® Anti-Static is used for molding and fabricating packaging materials used for sensitive electronic equipment and other products where static discharge is undesirable.

 

> dissipative

ARPRO® Dissipative provides a slightly higher degree of anti-static performance.

ARPRO® Dissipative contains additives that reduce surface resistivity to less than 109 Ω/square and has applications in healthcare services, military hardware and electronics.

 

> conductive

For packaging materials where optimum static control is critical.

ARPRO® Conductive is our highest grade of anti-stat material and features surface resistivity in the range of less than 104 Ω/square. ARPRO® Conductive is sometimes referred to as an ESD (electro static discharge) packaging material.

 

> low squeak

Reduced noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) for automotive interior components.

An innovative solution to noise vibration and harshness (NVH) issues, ARPRO® Low Squeak features a non-slip additive that reduces the material's coefficient of friction, overcoming resistance and creating quiet movement between components.

 

> high density

For maximum compressive strength, energy absorption and structural integrity.

ARPRO® High Density EPP grades, up to 250 g/l, are used to mold extremely rigid products for applications where compressive strength and energy absorption are crucial performance factors, such as for automotive bumper cores, passenger side impact protection and customized reusable industrial packaging.
