LFT Long Fiber Reinforced Nylon 12 High Mechanical Properties Plastic

Why are your pellets so long? 

What’s the difference between them and short fibers?

Long fiber pellets have several significant advantages over short fiber materials, especially in terms of enhancing the mechanical properties of plastics. Our long fiber pellets are typically used to improve the strength, rigidity, and impact resistance of materials. They are longer than short fiber pellets, allowing for better dispersion in the matrix material and forming a stronger fiber network structure, which significantly enhances the material's mechanical properties, particularly in terms of tensile and bending strength.

Compared to short fibers, long fiber materials have the following distinct differences:

1. Higher strength and rigidity: Long fibers can be more evenly distributed in the material, providing better tensile strength, bending rigidity, and so on.

2. Stronger impact resistance: Long fibers effectively improve the material's toughness and impact resistance, making them especially suitable for industrial products that require high impact resistance.

3. Better stability: Long fiber materials offer better dimensional stability and fatigue resistance, making them suitable for applications with long-term use.

4. Applicaition: long fiber materials are suitable for high-performance applications such as automobiles, electronic devices, and household appliances, while short fiber materials are more commonly used in applications where performance requirements are not as high.

Nylon 12 VS Nylon 6

In terms of mechanical properties, PA 12 generally exhibits higher tensile strength and impact resistance than PA 6. Nylon 12's enhanced toughness and durability make it suitable for applications that require robust materials capable of withstanding mechanical stress and impact forces.

Chemical resistance is another area where PA 12 and PA 6 differ. PA 12 demonstrates superior resistance to chemicals, solvents, oils, and fuels, making it highly suitable for applications in the automotive, chemical, and oil and gas industries. On the other hand, PA 6 offers good chemical resistance but may not perform as well as PA 12 in highly aggressive chemical environments.

Thermal stability is another factor to consider. PA12 Nylon exhibits better resistance to high temperatures than PA 6. It can retain its mechanical properties and dimensional stability even at elevated temperatures, making it suitable for applications involving heat exposure.

Regarding moisture absorption, PA 12 and PA 6 demonstrate similar characteristics. Both materials have low moisture absorption rates, leading to enhanced dimensional stability in humid or wet environments.

FAQ

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. 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.

Q. Are long fiber reinforced composites suitable for other processes besides injection molding?
A: In addition to injection molding, LFT long glass fiber and long carbon fiber can also be used for extrusion of sheets, profiles, pipes and molding, among which injection molding is the most common.
