FAQs

1. Q. What are the differences and advantages of long fiber and common short fibers materials?
A：Long-fiber reinforced composites show excellent mechanical properties compared to short fibers and are more suitable for applications requiring high strength.  The impact performance of long fiber composites is 1-3 times higher than that of short fibers, tensile strength is more than 50% higher, and mechanical properties are 50-80% higher.

2. Q. Using a long fiber reinforced thermoplastic material, will it block the die hole due to the longer length of the fiber or not ?
A: When using long glass fiber or long carbon fiber reinforced compounds, it is necessary to evaluate whether the product is suitable for LFT materials.  If the product is too small or the dispensing therefore it is not suitable for LFT materials. The LFT materials have requirements for the mold nozzle.

3. Q. How to choose the filler of compounds and length of the pellets when picking long fiber reinforced thermoplastic material?
A: The selection of materials depend on the requirements of the products. It is necessary to assess firstly how much the fiber content shoulde be and how long the pellets you need. We can provide technial assistance if you are not sure about LFT materials.

4. Q. What are the main features and advantages of long fiber reinforced thermoplastics?
A: Compared with traditional short fiber materials, the main features of LFT-G thermoplastic long glass fiber and long carbon fiber are mechanical properties, high impact and tensile modulus, which are more suitable for some large products or structural load-bearing parts.  It can do Injection molding, extrusion of sheets, profile pipes, etc.

5. Q. Under what circumstances can long fiber replace short fiber?  What are the common alternative materials?
A: Traditional staple fiber materials can be replaced with long glass fiber and long carbon fiber LFT materials in the case of customers whose mechanical properties cannot be met or where higher metal substitutes are desired.  For example, PP long glass fiber is often replacing nylon reinforced glass fiber , and nylon long glass fiber is replacing PPS staple fiber material, etc.

6. Q. How to choose the fiber content of the product? Is the larger product suitable for higher fiber content material?
A: This is not absolute. The content of glass fiber is not more is better. The suitable content is just to meet the requirements of each products.

7. Q. The cost of long fiber products is higher. Does it has a high recycling value?
A: The thermoplastic LFT long fiber material can be recycled and reused very well.

8. Q. The cost of long fiber products is higher.  Does it has a high recycling value?
A: The thermoplastic LFT long fiber material can be recycled and reused very well.

9. Q. What services do you offer?
A.Xiamen LFT has the ability to assist you throughout the product launch process - through product discussion, performance analysis, composite material selection, composite pellet production (with customized services), after-sales follow-up. In addition, our technical team with more than 30 years of experience in the industry provides guidance on the injection molding process.

10. Q: What are your strengths?
A: Xiamen LFT Composite Plastics Co., Ltd. is a world-renowned supplier of long glass/carbon fiber reinforced thermoplastic materials integrating product development and production.  Xiamen LFT filled the gap of high-end long carbon fiber reinforced materials in the early days, and we are the only manufacturer in China that only produces LFT materials.  At Xiamen LFT, we believe focus leads to excellence.  Compared with other manufacturers, our customized service is more flexible, due to fully automated production so that the shipment is on time, we also set up our own laboratory to ensure product quality stability.  In addition, the company has sales and service offices in other provinces and Turkey to serve our customers one step closer.
