Effect of thermal and ultraviolet exposure on volatile organic compounds emitted from basalt?hemp reinforced polypropylene
VOC emissions emitted from basalt fiber and hemp hurd reinforced polypropylene (PP) panels, glass fiber reinforced PP panels, and PP panels intended for interior automotive applications such as dash boards and door panels were analyzed. Results showed increasing concentrations as temperature increased, and a reduction in off?gassing in the presence of UV radiation. Although the concentrations detected from all panels were below the suggested standards and limitations, the major compounds detected were acetaldehyde (
