What are some examples of thermoplastics?
1.PP material
Polypropylene is a general-purpose resin closely related to our daily lives. 50% of the world's propylene and 60% of my country's propylene come from polypropylene. It is the fastest growing general-purpose plastic resin in the world, second only to polyethylene and polyvinyl chloride in total.
LFT-G blends resin raw materials and long glass fibers to produce long fiber reinforced thermoplastic materials through the reinforcement and modification of polypropylene(PP LGF). The density is between 1.05-1.45g/cm³. The particle length is 12mm, the heat distortion temperature is 157℃, the general grade PP flame retardant grade is HB, the melt temperature is 210-250℃, and the drying conditions are generally 80-90℃ for 2-4 hours.
Precautions related to PP production process

PP has good molding fluidity, but the shrinkage range and shrinkage value are large, and shrinkage holes, dents, and deformation are easy to occur. The cooling speed is fast, the pouring system and the cooling system should slowly dissipate heat

2. PE material

Polyethylene is divided into high-density polyethylene, low-density polyethylene, etc. LFT-G company specializes in the production of HDPE and long glass fiber composite materials, the density is between 1.10-1.40g/cm³, the density of different fiber content is not the same. The melt temperature is 210-250℃ the same as PP LGF. The PE resin material is easy to hydrolyze, and the long glass fiber is added to delay the hydrolysis. Although the water absorption is not high, it needs to be dried before processing to prevent the internal hydrolysis of the molecules during the processing from affecting the material properties.

3.PA material
There are many types of nylon. At present, the main types developed by LFT-G are: PA6 LGF, PA66 LGF, PA12 LGF, MXD6 LGF, etc. Nylon is a commonly used engineering plastic, and the density of different types is different. The material has excellent toughness, wear resistance, chemical resistance, and is one of the high temperature resistant materials.

One of the characteristics of nylon types is that they absorb water, so they must be dried before processing. It can be dried at 100-120℃ for about 4-6 hours. Allowable water content during molding: 0.1% for PA6 and PA66. Nylon is easy to cause discoloration during heating, so avoid high temperature. PA Long Glass Fiber Thermoplastic material is a thermoplastic material that can be processed twice. As a secondary material, try to avoid too many repeated uses to avoid a sharp decline in performance.
