Does adding glass fiber affect the gloss of PP material 2024-04-30

The addition of glass fibers to the polymer usually makes its surface rougher, which can lead to a reduction in gloss. The specific degree of impact depends on the proportion, length and shape of the glass fiber added, as well as processing conditions and other factors. Glass fiber is relatively rough, and incompatible with plastic, added to the plastic material, resulting in a less smooth surface...
