Durable Impact Resistant Polypropylene Engineering Plastics For Furniture Bases

Product Description

Durable Impact Resistant Polypropylene engineering plastics are tailored for heavy-duty furniture components, particularly bases of office chairs, tables, and modular furniture. These compounds combine toughness, rigidity, and fatigue resistance, ensuring long-term structural reliability under constant load-bearing conditions. Compared with mineral-filled PP, toughened PP offers higher impact absorption and longer service life in dynamic use scenarios.

Properties Data Sheet

Notes: The general guidelines are only for reference. Exact settings have to follow the product and machine conditions.

Avoid contact with other materials, dust and debris in the injection processing.

Avoid long time stay in the barrel in the injection processing.

Precautions

Material should be pre-dried before molding to eliminate moisture issues. Furniture parts must be designed with optimized rib structures to distribute loads evenly. For applications requiring long exposure to sunlight, UV-stabilized grades should be selected. Since bases are load-bearing components, regular quality testing (impact resistance, compressive strength, fatigue performance) is recommended during production.

Features, Advantages & Properties

• High impact and fatigue resistance for structural furniture parts
• Lightweight alternative to metals with cost savings
• Long service life with minimal deformation or cracking
• Available in black, grey, or wood-tone finishes for furniture design compatibility
• Excellent resistance to household chemicals and cleaning agents

Working Principle & Applications

Through elastomeric reinforcement, the polymer absorbs and redistributes stress forces, making it resistant to cracking under repeated load cycles. This makes the material especially suitable for office chair bases, table supports, modular furniture joints, and storage unit frames. By offering durability, lightweight properties, and cost efficiency, toughened PP has become a preferred choice for manufacturers of modern, ergonomic, and long-lasting furniture.
