LFT-G™ Premium Long Carbon Fiber Reinforced Homopolymer Polypropylene (PP) for High-Performance Applications

Carbon fiber reinforced composite (CFRP) is composed of carbon fiber as a reinforcement material and resin as a matrix material, and early carbon fiber composite materials are mainly used in the military field. With the improvement of material properties, molding process and price cost, carbon fiber composite materials are more and more used in general industry and sports and leisure fields.

Polypropylene is a low cost, excellent performance, a wide range of uses of polymer materials, through carbon fiber reinforcement, can improve the strength of polypropylene materials, thermal deformation temperature and dimensional stability, expand the application of polypropylene materials, widely used in electronic appliances, automobiles, construction and other fields. Especially in the automotive field, with the development of new energy vehicles and the trend of lightweight vehicles, carbon fiber reinforced materials are more and more widely used in the automotive field.

Carbon fiber reinforced polypropylene material features:
High mechanical properties
In line with the design trend of new energy vehicles
The lower density meets the needs of lightweight vehicles

The modified PP reinforced by carbon fiber has a series of advantages, such as light weight, high modulus, high specific strength, low coefficient of thermal expansion, high temperature resistance, heat shock resistance, corrosion resistance, good vibration absorption, etc., and can be applied to auto parts such as automobile sub-instrument assembly.

Q&A

Q: Does long glass fiber and long carbon fiber injection have special requirements for injection molding machines and molds?
A: There are certainly requirements. especially from the product design structure, as well as the injection molding machine screw nozzle and mold structure injection molding process must consider the requirements of long fiber.

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. Can products with appearance requirements be made of long-fiber materials?
A: The main feature of LFT-G thermoplastic long glass fiber and long carbon fiber is to show the mechanical properties. If the customer has bright or other requirements for the appearance of the product, it needs to be evaluated in combination with specific products.
