What are long fiber reinforced thermoplastics?
Long Fibre reinforced thermoplastic (LFT) forms by fibres of granulate length which are subjected to the so-called pultrusion process. In this process the fibre strands are continuously drawn through a polymer melt, embedded in the polymer matrix and finally granulated after cooling. The impregnation quality determines the subsequent component quality. So different combinations of polymer matrix and fibre material result in a large variety of possible LFT materials.
Long-fiber-reinforced thermoplastics (LFT) are mainly processed by injection molding and enable weight reduction while maintaining high load-bearing capacity for complex components. For this reason, they are of great importance not only for the automotive sector.
We offer LFT in the polymer matrices PA6 / PA66 / PP / PET / PBT in different glass fibre contents.
Polymer matrix: PA6 / PA66 / PP / PET / PBT
Color: Natural, black, individual
Length: 11,5 mm
Width: 2,5 mm diameter
LCF thermoplastics offer the highest strength and stiffness performance obtainable with injection molding and reduce weight in part manufacturing to increase efficiency or reduce fatigue. Long fibre reinforced thermoplastics based on PA66 matrix with 25 % or 40 % carbon fibre.
Biobased (>95 %) long fibre reinforced thermoplastics with 40% cellulose regenerated fibres from CORDENKA.
