Introducing GreenCore NCell™
GreenCore NCell™ Natural Fiber reinforced Thermoplastics are a family of high-performance Lignocellulosic - thermoplastic compounds for injection molding, extrusion, and other common molding processes. Our compounds are supplied in standard pellet form, and may be used as drop-in replacement for processing on existing tooling and molding equipment. All GreenCore NCell™ compounds are based on our proprietary Microfiber Technology |

High Performance NCell™ 40-PP Compounds
Our NCell™ 40-PP compounds consist of a polypropylene-based matrix reinforced with 40 wt% natural fibers.
NCell™ 40-PP compounds offer a 100% increase in mechanical properties such as tensile strength, when compared to other commercially available Natural Fiber Composites. These include composites manufactured from hemp, flax, and wood fibers. In certain applications, NCell™ 40-PP is capable of replacing glass reinforced materials. The compound matrix can be manufactured from a variety of polypropylene based resins including homopolymers, impact co-polymers, bio-based PP, and using common molding additives. (UV Stabilizers, Lubricants, Colorants, etc.)
NCell™ 40-PP pellets may be blended with conventional color concentrates or diluted with other polyolefins as letdown at the molding machine to produce parts with varying fiber content up to 40%. |

Key Advantages
- High Performance - Equivalent Tensile and Stiffness to Glass reinforced materials and higher performance than other commercially available Natural Fiber Composites
- Non-Abrasive - Compared to glass and mineral filled compounds, our materials are Non-abrasive on Tooling, Screws, and Barrels
- Weight Reduction - Potential part weight reduction due to lower density of natural fibers vs. glass and mineral fillers
- Recycling Performance - Improved mechanical performance retention after at least three (3) 100% regrinds vs. glass
- Environmentally Friendly - Sourced from renewable and sustainable natural fibers and displacing petroleum based resins

Recyclable, Green Materials
NCell™ 40-PP compounds retain their mechanical properties during recycling or regrind better than glass reinforced materials. By replacing petroleum-based plastics and glass fibers with sustainable natural fibers, NCell™ pellets offer added environmental benefits while more than doubling the strength of the base polymer.
Example Applications
- Automotive components including: Door Modules / Panels, Center Console Stacks, Instrument Panel components, Running Boards. Replacement of Glass reinforced thermoplastics including Long-Glass Fiber PP (LGF/LFT).
- Consumer & Industrial products: Home & Office Furniture, Lawn & Garden, Toys, Housewares, Storage, and Transportation.
- Replacement of mineral filled thermoplastics, and PP / PE where bio-based content or unique “natural” surface effects are desired.
