NAFILean-PERF

A high-performance biocomposite combining natural hemp fibres and recyclability for structural parts subject to high mechanical stress (in automotive & elsewhere).

NAFILean PERF is the most rigid compound in our NAFILean family. Designed for structural applications subject to strong mechanical stress, it’s an ideal (lower-carbon) alternative to 30% glass-fibre reinforced polypropylene (PP GF30). With 20% hemp fibre and a recyclable matrix, NAFILean PERF delivers superior rigidity, weight savings and lower CO2 emissions – and full compatibility with standard injection processes.

PP GF30… what?

(decoding the jargon)

Materi'act Nafilean Ip

PP GF30 stands for polypropylene with 30% glass fibre. It’s a classic in automotive for parts that need serious stiffness and good dimensional stability.

PP = Polypropylene: a versatile, lightweight thermoplastic.

GF30 = 30% glass fibre: added to make the plastic tougher and less prone to deformation under stress or heat.

Used in structural parts like seat supports, consoles and brackets, PP GF30 is strong, but on the heavy side, non-recyclable and high in CO2.

That’s why we created NAFILean PERF with same stress-resisting performance, but lighter, recyclable, and way lower in emissions.

Engineered for high performance and low environmental impact

NAFILean PERF helps OEMs and tier suppliers transition to lower-impact materials without compromising on mechanical resistance. As an essential member of our NAFILean family, it enables modular integration of natural fibres, recyclability and CO2 reduction across vehicle programmes (and in other industries too).
