How to mold long fiber reinforced thermoplastics?
2023-06-07
Long fiber reinforced thermoplastics (LFRT) are being used for injection molding applications with high mechanical properties. While LFRT technology can provide good strength, stiffness and impact properties, the processing method of this material plays an important role in determining what properties can be achieved in the final part. In order to successfully mold LFRTs, an understanding of some ...

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...

A brief look at some of the key factors that make carbon fiber composites a viable alternative to traditional materials
2023-07-20
Nowadays, we find new uses for carbon fiber almost every day. These tiny filaments, which are currently available in a wide variety of functional shapes, have a diameter of one-tenth the thickness of a human hair. The fibers are processed into fabrics that can be used for molding subsequent molding processes and formed into tubes and sheets for construction, or as conventional threads for fiber wi...
