Hostacom PPR 1042

Grade: PPR 1042

Overview

Twenty percent talc-filled polypropylene compound engineered for automotive interior and under-hood parts. Talc raises stiffness and heat resistance while keeping part weight and cost low.

Key advantages
  • Stiff
  • Heat resistant
  • Lightweight
Applications
Door trim panelsUnder-hood coversInterior structural parts

Typical values for reference only — not a specification. Confirm against the current producer datasheet before designing to these numbers.

Chemical resistance

Chemical compatibility for this grade has not been assessed yet. Ratings are added as our applications engineering team reviews each resin family.

Ratings describe the resin's general behaviour, not your part. Moulded-in stress, wall section, temperature and applied load all change the outcome — qualify the finished device with your own cleaning and exposure protocol.

Maximum dose and cycle counts require producer validation data, so we show "Confirm with producer" rather than a figure. Retention and discoloration notes are qualitative. Sterilization must always be validated on the finished device.

Compliance status reflects producer statements and grade records on file. Always confirm the current position with a signed regulatory statement letter for your specific device and market before submission.

Documents

Documents marked “Request” are supplied on account. We link a download only when a real, current file is on file — never a placeholder that would 404.

Supply & logistics

Stocking, lead time and packaging for this grade are confirmed per order. Request a quote and the team responds with live availability rather than a figure that may be stale.

Processing & design notes

Primary process

Injection molding

Typically injection molded; verify drying requirements and melt temperature against the producer datasheet.

Structural role

Cost-effective semi-crystalline workhorse — high-volume disposables and labware.

Typically paired with

  • A TPE gasket or seal
  • A clarifying or nucleating additive

Engineering watch-outs

  • Unstabilized polypropylene chain-scissions under gamma — confirm a radiation-stabilized grade for irradiated products.
  • Verify heat-deflection temperature against your autoclave cycle before assuming steam compatibility.
  • No biocompatibility data is published for this grade — request documentation before any body-contact use.
  • Always qualify the specific lot and grade against your own device master record and validation plan.

Qualitative guidance only. We don't publish processing windows — confirm melt and mold temperatures, drying, and shrinkage against the producer technical data sheet and your own part qualification.
