Xiamen LFT Thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU) Long Glass Fiber Reinforced Thermoplastic Compounds

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.

About Xiamen LFT

Xiamen LFT Composite Plastic Co.,LTD was established in 2009, is a brand-name global suppliers of long fiber reinforced thermoplastic materials integrating product research & developmen （R&D）, production and sale marketing. 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.
