To meet the growing demand for low emission requirements, RTP Company has developed a line of low emission products including a VLF PP product for use in automotive interior applications. These PP VLF products satisfy Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) mandates to reduce the Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) levels found in thermoplastic materials specified for use in automotive interior applications. International legislation and automotive OEMs have identified the need to reduce odor, fogging, and total VOCs to improve air quality and the safety of vehicle interiors. Low emission PP VLF compounds from RTP Company are designed for structural use and provide exceptional strength, stiffness, and dimensional accuracy, with reinforcement levels of 20 – 50 wt%. They have been tested and authenticated by approved outside laboratories according to German Automotive Industry (VDA) test methods for odor, fogging, and total VOC emissions. Results from VDA test methods show that PP VLF products from RTP Company meet or exceed the OEM requirements in all three categories (see Figure 1).
