What is lFT material?
LFT material, also known as Long Fiber Thermoplastic material, is a type of composite material that is widely used in various industries. It is composed of thermoplastic polymers and long fibers, typically made of glass, carbon, or other materials. The fibers serve as a reinforcement, while the thermoplastic polymer matrix holds them together and provides stability and flexibility.
In recent years, LFT material has gained significant attention in the automotive industry due to its potential to reduce weight and improve fuel efficiency. The use of LFT composite components in automotive manufacturing has already resulted in significant weight savings and improved performance. This trend is expected to continue as manufacturers strive to meet increasingly strict emissions and fuel economy standards.
Benefit of LFT Long Fiber material
------
The advantages of LFT material is its high strength-to-weight ratio. The long fiber reinforcement provides excellent stiffness and resistance to impact, making it suitable for use in structural components such as automotive parts, sporting goods, and industrial machinery. It is also resistant to chemical corrosion and heat, making it suitable for use in harsh environments.
Products Application
Long fiber composites can be used in a wide range of applications, including automotive and aerospace industries, as well as in sporting goods, electronic housings, and medical devices. These composite materials can be molded into complex shapes and can be designed to meet specific requirements, making them highly versatile.
Outstanding Case Sharing
In 2021, a customer making home appliance parts approached us and said, "The PP-GF material we are using now has insufficient performance, and we need a high-performance material to improve the strength and toughness product performance of washing machine parts."
After evaluating the proposal from our technical department, we suggested the customer to use "LFT-G® PP-NG05-LGF50% mix PP raw resin to make the composite material. After our reasonable technical guidance, the mechanical properties of the washing machine parts made of our LFT-G® PP-NG05-LGF50% material were improved by 30%-40%. The customer's feedback is very satisfied with the use of the results, for the customer in the target country market to obtain a great market advantage. We have exported more than 2,000MT material to our customers, and we are able to provide our customers with continuous and stable supply.
