What is TPU Plastic? Thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU) Thermoplastic Polyurethane is soft and elastic, with excellent tensile and tear strength. For this reason, it is often used to make parts that demand a rubber-like elasticity. TPU is a little bit expensive than other resins, but there is no substitute for many applications, such as protective wire and cable sheaths. Another advantage is that TPU improves the grip for products that need to be held securely in hand. What Are the Advantages of Thermoplastic? Thermoplastics are popular manufacturing materials.  Some of the reasons for this are listed below: 1)Ease of Processing: High production efficiency, can be used for complex product design 2)Low Cost: Thermoplastics — especially commodity thermoplastics like polypropylene — cost very little per kilogram.  The resulting products are thus very affordable, particularly when coupled with high-volume production technologies like injection molding. 3)Wide range of properties: Thermoplastics have a wide range of mechanical, thermal, and electrical properties.  Specific properties depend on the type of thermoplastic, processing technique, and the types of fillers and additives used. 4)High strength-to-weight ratio: Thermoplastics are lightweight.  As such, components can be designed to take advantage of this while keeping the loads within acceptable limits. What is the usage of TPU Long Glass Fiber Reinforced Pellets? Some of the TPU products manufactured are automotive instrument panels, caster wheels, sporting goods, power tools, drive belts, medical devices, footwear and etc. You can also contact us for more technical instruction. Product Details Color Length Package Sample MOQ Fiber Content Natural color or Customized 6-25 mm 25kg/bag Available 25kg 20%-60% About LFT Plastic LFT long fiber reinforced thermoplastic engineering materials,compared to ordinary short fiber reinforced thermoplastic materials (fiber length is less than 1-2 mm), the LFT process produces thermoplastic engineering material's fibers in lengths of 5-25 mm. The long fibers are impregnated with the resin through a special mold system to obtain long strips that are fully impregnated with the resin ,and then cut to the length as required. The most used base resin is PP, by PA6, PA66, PPA,PA12,MXD6,PBT, PET,TPU,PPS, LCP,PEEK, etc. Conventional fibers include glass fiber, carbon fiber,special fibers include basalt fiber and quartz fiber, etc. Depending on the end use, the finished products can be used for injection molding,extrusion, molding, etc., or directly used for plastic instead of steel and thermoset products. Q & A Q: What is the Molding Temperature for Thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU)? A: depending on the TPU being molded. Q. How to choose the reinforcement method and length of the material when using long fiber reinforced thermoplastic material? A: The selection of materials depend on the requirements of the products.  It is necessary to assess how much the content is enhanced and how much length is more appropriate, which are depending on the performance requirements of the products. Q. When a customer want to develop a new product, How to recommend customers suitable material and characteristics? A: It is necessary to understand the customer's technical requirements ,use environment, test conditions for the new product, and recommend the model according to various kind of long-fiber resin substrate characteristics.

PLA is an opaque plastic suitable for making medical components as well as for prototyping applications. PLA is a high-strength but brittle plastic that cannot be used in applications that experience shock loads. The lactic acid building blocks of PLA can be made from fermented plant starch, like corn, under controlled conditions. It takes less energy to produce PLA than petroleum-based thermoplastics, making it relatively eco-friendly. PLA is often regarded as being biodegradable.  What Are the Advantages of PLA? Some of the advantages of PLA plastic are listed below: Biocompatibility: PLA is non-toxic to humans. It can remain in contact with the skin for long periods without any negative effects. The decomposition products of PLA are also non-toxic: it degrades into harmless lactic acid. It is often used for stents and sutures that are designed to break down inside the body over several months. Low-Energy for Production: PLA takes less energy to produce compared to other petroleum-based plastics due to its relatively low melting point of 165 °C. The polymerization of PLA also consumes 25 to 55 % less energy than other conventional petroleum-based polymers. Mechanical Properties: PLA has good room temperature strength and stiffness, but is not suitable for sudden impact loads.  Food Safe: PLA is non-toxic and is generally recognized as safe by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration). FAQ *What processes are LFT materials suitable for? LFT material is mainly suitable for injection molding, as well as partial extrusion. The requirements for injection molding machines are mainly reflected in the nozzle. *Why are your products so long? Why does the material I used before, filled with glass fiber, look different than this? Although long fiber modified materials (LFT) and short fiber modified materials (SFT) are through the combination of fiber and resin to produce higher properties of the complex. However, the two materials are different from the production process, internal structure, appearance, performance, application and so on. Production process: The fiber of SFT is chopped and mixed with resin, and the production process of LFT is melt impregnation. Internal structure: The fibers inside SFT particles are short and disordered, while the fibers inside LGF are neatly arranged and longer. Appearance: The length of SFT is usually less than 3 mm, and the length of LFT is 5-24mm. Performance: LFT impact performance than SFT increased 1-3 times, tensile strength increased by more than 50%, mechanical properties improved by 50-80%. Application: LFT is more suitable for use in products with high strength requirements, as load-bearing parts and structural parts. *What is your MOQ? MOQ is 25kg *Do you support custom service？ Color: Please let us know which Pantone color you want to customize Length: Lengtjh between 5mm-24mm can be customized.
