Wood / Glass Fiber
Composite Performance

Wood fiber and short glass fiber reinforced polymer sheets. Two material families combining fiber reinforcement with thermoplastic formability for automotive interior components.

Polypropylene combines with wood fiber to form WPC sheets, or with short glass fiber to form PP-GF sheets, through mixing and extrusion.

Company

Part ofOzer

Fiber-reinforced thermoplastic sheets for automotive interiors.

Manufactured in Eskişehir, Türkiye, Fibropan sheets combine polypropylene with wood fibers or short glass fibers. Extrusion produces a solid composite sheet that can be thermoformed into interior components.

We support material selection and component development, with optional nonwoven or carpet finishes and ongoing research into continuous-fiber reinforcement.

3D forming

Thermoforming Process

Both wood fiber and short glass fiber reinforced thermoplastic sheets can be formed into three-dimensional components. Heating and molding transform the flat sheet into a shape suited to the application.

Material grade, surface finish and forming conditions are selected around the component geometry and its requirements.
