• Worldwide capacity: 94 million tons (bleached Kraft pulp, source FAO)
• Chemicals recycled (closed loop)
• Net production of energy from biomass (steam, electricity)
Wood = Cellulose (40-55%)
Hemicellulose (15-35%)
Lignin (20-30%)

FIBROMER® - Our proposition
●Alternative material to:
O Talcum- and glass fibre reinforced polyolefins
O Unfilled PP and PE
●Proprietary development by Mondi
O Research started in 2001
O Product launch in February 2013
O Patent pending
●Enhance mechanical properties of polyolefins
O Stiffness
O Impact strength
O Low-temperature properties
O Heat distortion
●Weight reduction of injection moulded parts
O Average 10%
O Lower density of the filler (compared to Talcum or glass fibres)
O Reduce thickness of the walls

FIBROMER® - Impact on the value chain
●Making plastic more ‘green’
O Renewable fibre sources
O Credible green image of Mondi
●Compound optimised for injection moulding
●Full processability with existing equipment & design rules
O Drop-in solution
●Reduced manufacturing costs during injection moulding
O Reduced cycle times
O Reduced tool wear

Fibre properties
● Bleached Kraft pulp fibre
● Geometry O length: on av. 750 µm
O diameter: ~ 15µm
O aspect ratio: ~ 50
● Degradation O Lignin: 160 °C (2)
O Hemicellulose: 180 °C (2)
O Cellulose: 200 °C (2)

Controlled fibre-matrix adhesion
● Good “adhesion” between fibre and matrix O Fibre break
O increase stiffness
- High tensile/flexural strength
- High tensile/flexural modulus
● Poor “adhesion” between fibre and matrix O Fibre pull-out
O The rough fibre surface leads to higher friction during the
fibre pull-out
O increase notched impact strength
- lower tensile/flexural strength
- lower tensile/flexural modulus

Weight reduction
Page 9 Mondi Kraft Paper - FIBROMER® Technical Product Presentation
Density [g/cm³]
Glass fibre 2,5
Talcum 2,75
Kraft fibre 1,5
● Weight reduction
achieved through
lower density of
the filler

Heat Distortion Temperature
Page 10 Mondi Kraft Paper - FIBROMER® Technical Product Presentation
● Strong increase
compared to pure
PE/PP
● Better heat distortion
properties at lower
fibre content
● Highest effect of heat
distortion compared to
Talcum / SCGF
June 2014
Notched Impact Strength
● Talcum and
FIBROMER® in the
same PP-Matrix
● Increase of the NIS(-
20°C) compared to pure
PP and different
talcum qualities
● Better NIS(23°C)
compared to talcum

Processing temperature
● Recommended injection mould temperatures
(190°C – 200°C):
● save energy
● decrease the injection cycle time
● Higher injection mould temperatures (>200°C)
leads to:
● odour
● change in colour
● lower mech. properties

Colours
Page 13
● White O WPC has a brown base colour white colours nearly impossible
O the base colour of FIBROMER® is much lighter
O Pure White (RAL 9010) can be achieved
O Low variation
● Automotive sand, grey or black no problem!

Advantages of FIBROMER® Customer results
Coloring as good
as on the serial parts,
perfectly filled filigrane
structure
Cycle time reduction
and even better 3D
stability
Back injection of films
comparable with
standard material
