Thermal and Mechanical Performance of 3-Phase Polymer Composite Panels for Structural Applications

Table 2

Cost analysis of 3-phase composite panels.

	Jute/PP	Glass/PP
Material cost ($)	0.25	0.28
Equipment cost ($)	0.39	0.39
Labor cost ($)	0.30	0.30
Tooling cost ($)	0.07	0.07
Total cost ($)	1.02	1.04

MCC fillers due to the very small quantity had no significant effect on the cost of composite panels.
