Hydro S & S Industries Limited

A wide range of thermoplastic elastomers under the hyprene brand name is also made available. These products are manufactured under a strategic alliance with exxonmobil chemicals Asia Pacific Pvt. Ltd (AES),the worldwide leader in engineered tpe's. AES provides the base material and technical support to hssil for manufacture of tpe's in india.

Alloys based on polypropylene to improve stiffness and mar resistance with good notched impact strength. Poly-propylene compounds with low level of fogging for automotive interior applications. Glass coupled polypropylene with enhanced properties.

HSSIL manufacturing compounds to suit:

• Automotive components with prolonged outdoor exposure, electrical accessories which are subject to high service temperature.
• Bumpers (0. 75% to 1. 60% shrinkage)
• Crash pad/ instrument panel
• All pillars & allied trim components
• Interior components
• Two wheeler applications

Hydro s & s industries limited ("HSSIL") manufactures a wide range of reinforced polypropylene compounds under the hyfil brand name. polypropylene modified by the addition of reinforcements such as talc, chalk, mica and glass fibre has enabled it to establish itself as a metal substitute in engineering applications.

• Self coloured & maintenance free
• Corrosion resistant
• Electrical insulating
• Light weight
• Non-skid surface

The use of plastics as a substitute for wood and metal is increasing day-by-day world over due to its excellent chemical, electrical and mechanical properties. It is in this context that pultrusded frp composite stands out as a material for the future.

In pultrusion continuous glass rovings are impregnated with thermoset resins and are continuously pulled through a heated die where the shape of the profile is achieved. While extrusion uses thermoplastic molding material, pultrusion employs thermosets.

Why Composites?

• High tensile strength greater than steel or aluminium by 3 to 4 times.
• 30 to 45% lighter than aluminium structures designed to the same functional requirement.
• Less noising while in operation and provide lower vibration transmission that metals.
• More versatile than metals and can be tailored to meet performance needs and complex design requirements.
• Reduced life cycle cost compared to metals.
• Excellent corrosion resistance and fire retardancy.
• Long life and reduced maintenance.
• High electrical insulation.

xtruglas is the trade name of hssil products manufactured by pultrusion process. Xtruglas pultruded sections are similar to extrusions in that they have a constant cross section and are made by a continuous process. They are manufactured from a wide variety of high performance thermosetting resins with fibre reinforcements namely glass and carbon.
