Seculene^® Polypropylene

Sustainable, High-Performance Polymer Solutions

Seculene Polypropylene is a premium polymer solution derived solely from secondary raw materials. By establishing our first in-house polypropylene compounding capability and expanding our recycling network, Clarios now provides a high-quality alternative to industry polymers. This initiative supports a circular economy and creates a more resilient supply chain.

Innovative Sourcing, Premier Solutions

Clarios produces more than 30 polypropylene qualities tailored for diverse applications across multiple sectors. Our Seculene portfolio includes a wide range of specialized grades to meet your specific technical needs:

Filled and unfilled grades
Warm aging and UV-stabilized grades
Glass-fiber reinforced grades including a flame-retardant variant

The Sustainable Alternative to Virgin Polymers

Our recycled PP-compounds serve as high-quality alternatives to primary industry polymers. Seculene is derived solely from secondary raw materials, yet its mechanical properties (including density, impact strength, elongation, and flow characteristics) remain equivalent to products manufactured from virgin material.

By choosing Seculene, your brand benefits from:

Consistent Quality: Expert material recovery ensures a reliable and predictable product.
Reduced Footprint: Lower reliance on primary raw materials and reduced environmental impact throughout the product lifecycle.
Regulatory Alignment: Solutions designed to help partners meet evolving requirements for recycled plastic content in automotive and industrial applications.

Versatile Applications & Tailored Development

Seculene PP is engineered for durability and effectiveness in sectors with extensive polymer requirements. Its versatility makes it an ideal solution for high-stress components, particularly within the automotive segment, as well as building and construction.

Common Applications Include:

Automotive: Starter battery housings, wheel-housing protector shells, underbody claddings, cable conduits, water deflectors, and guide rails.
Construction: High-performance water piping systems.
Custom Solutions: Our polypropylene solutions can be tailored to your unique requirements. We can collaborate with you through every stage, from planning and development to unit production.

Strengthening the Circular Economy

As a global leader in advanced energy storage, Clarios is committed to a closed-loop battery supply chain. By recovering critical materials like lead and polypropylene, we ensure that resources are responsibly sourced and reused—supporting circular economy ambitions for a more resilient and sustainable supply chain.
