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. About TPU-LGF compounds What Products Are Best Manufactured via Thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU)? Some of the TPU products manufactured are automotive instrument panels, caster wheels, sporting goods, power tools, drive belts, medical devices, footwear and etc. What is Thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU) for Plastic Injection Molding? ETPU is a tough, highly abrasion-resistant resin that bridges the gap between rubbers and plastics. TPUs can be formulated to be rigid or elastomeric. TPU exhibits a high flex before break and is ideal for wheels and door panels. What is the Molding Temperature for Thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU)? depending on the TPU being molded.

Our LFT products have passed the ISO9001&16949 system certification and have obtained lots of national trademarks and patents, covering the fields of automotive, military parts and firearms, aerospace, new energy, medical equipment, power wind energy, sports equipment, etc. 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,TPU,PPS, ABS,PEEK, etc. Conventional fibers include glass fiber, carbon fiber. 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.

Nylon - MXD6 is a kind of crystalline polyamide resin, which is synthesized by the condensation of m-benzoylamine and adipic acid.

Homopolymer long glass fiber reinforced polypropylene (PP) offers excellent mechanical properties, including high strength, impact resistance, and dimensional stability. With a glass fiber content ranging from 20% to 60%, it is ideal for applications in automotive, industrial machinery, and power tools, providing a lightweight yet durable alternative to traditional metals.

What is PA6 plastic? polyamide (PA), usually called Nylon, is a hetero-chain polymer containing amide group (-NHCo -) in the main chain. It can be divided into aliphatic group and aromatic group. It is the earliest developed and the most used thermoplastic engineering material. Polyamide main chain contains many repeated amide group, used as a plastic called nylon, used as a synthetic fiber called nylon. A variety of different polyamides can be prepared according to the number of carbon atoms contained in binary amines and dibasic acids or amino acids. At present, there are dozens of polyamides, among which polyamide-6, polyamide-66 and polyamide-610 are the most widely used. Polyamide-6 is an aliphatic polyamide, with light weight, strong strength, wear resistance, weak acid and alkali resistance and some organic solvents, easy molding and processing and other excellent properties, widely used in fiber, engineering plastics and thin films and other fields, but PA6 molecular chain segment contains strong polarity amide groups, easy to form hydrogen bonds with water molecules, The product has the disadvantages of large water absorption, poor dimensional stability, low impact strength in dry state and low temperature, strong acid and alkali resistance. Advantages of nylon 6: High mechanical strength, good toughness, high tensile and compressive strength. Outstanding fatigue resistance, the parts after repeated bending can still maintain the original mechanical strength. High softening point, heat resistant. Smooth surface, small friction coefficient, wear-resistant. Corrosion resistance, very resistant to alkali and most salts, also resistant to weak acids, oil, gasoline, aromatic compounds and general solvents, aromatic compounds are inert, but not resistant to strong acids and oxidants. It can resist the corrosion of gasoline, oil, fat, alcohol, alkaline and so on, and has good anti-aging ability. It is self-extinguishing, non-toxic, odorless, good weather resistance, inert to biological erosion, and has good antibacterial and mildew resistance. Has excellent electrical performance, good electrical insulation, nylon volume resistance is high, high breakdown voltage resistance, in dry environment, can work frequency insulation material, even in high humidity environment still has good electrical insulation. Light weight, easy dyeing, easy forming, because of low melting viscosity, can flow quickly. Disadvantages of Nylon 6: Easy to absorb water, water absorption, saturated water can reach more than 3%. Poor light resistance, in the long-term high temperature environment will oxidize with oxygen in the air, the color turns brown at the beginning, and the subsequent surface is broken and cracked. Injection molding technology requirements more strict, the existence of trace moisture will cause great damage to the quality of molding; The dimensional stability of the product is difficult to control because of thermal expansion. The existence of sharp Angle in the product will lead to stress concentration and reduce the mechanical strength; If the wall thickness is not uniform, it will lead to the distortion and deformation of the parts. High precision of equipment is required in post-processing. Will absorb water, alcohol and swelling, not resistant to strong acid and oxidant, can not be used as acid-resistant materials. Why filling Long Glass Fiber? PA6 has excellent properties such as light weight, strong strength, abrasion resistance, weak acid and alkali resistance and some organic solvents, and easy molding and processing. It is widely used in the fields of fibers, engineering plastics and films. However, the molecular chain segment of PA6 contains highly polar amide groups, which are easy to form hydrogen bonds with water molecules. The product has the disadvantages of large water absorption, poor dimensional stability, low impact strength in dry state and low temperature, strong acid and alkali resistance. With the development of science and technology and the improvement of life quality, the defects in some properties of traditional PA6 materials have limited its development in some fields. In order to improve the performance of PA6 and expand its application field, PA6 should be modified. Filling enhancement modification is a common method for physical modification of PA6. It refers to the modification of PA6 by adding fillers such as glass fiber and carbon fiber into the matrix to significantly improve the mechanical properties, flame retardant properties, thermal conductivity and dimensional stability of the material. What is application of PA6-LGF? Modified section of 30% long glass fiber reinforced PA6 is the ideal material for processing power tool shell, power tool parts, engineering machinery parts and automobile parts. Its mechanical properties, dimensional stability, heat resistance and aging resistance have been significantly improved. The fatigue resistance strength is 2.5 times that of unenha...
