New choice of environmentally friendly materials - plastic instead of steel lightweight long-fiber reinforced composite materials Q & A
2023-06-27
●What are the benefits of using LFRT materials? Benefits for business owners and factories. a. Plastic instead of steel: In the past, metal was the material of choice for many industrial products because of its high strength and heat resistance, but the disadvantage is that it is not suitable for molding complex shapes. Long glass fiber reinforced material (L.F.R.T) has the most similar performanc...

Typical applications of long glass fiber reinforced plastics in the automotive industry
2023-07-04
Long fibre reinforced thermoplastics (LFT) is the most commonly used base resin for LFT, followed by PP, PA and also PBT, PPS, PPA, TPU and other resins. It is worth mentioning that different fibers are needed for different resins to achieve better results. Development of LFT In 1980, Polymer Composites Corporation (PCI), USA, was the first to propose the theoretical design concept of LFT, and con...
