polymer containing 15% talc was compared to an identical co-polymer with 15% minTron replacing the talc. The minTron-filled plaque showed significantly improved scratch resistance. Eggert also showed automotive inner door mouldings


where minTron 7 has been used in conjunction with natural fibres to fill and reinforce pp. in addition, he presented a pp roof tile developed by The green Tile company. it is using 25% minTron in the tiles to help meet its targets for adopting recycled, sustainable materials with weight reduction potential. He empha- sized minTron’s low carbon footprint (kg co2


/kg product),


saying that it is up to five times less than glass and talc fillers and up to ten times less than glass fibres.
