What is LFT PA6 nylon6 LGF?
What is Long glass fiber nylon 6?
Long glass fiber nylon6 is a type of high-performance engineering thermoplastic that is strengthened using long glass fibers. Nylon6, also known as polyamide6, is a widely used engineering polymer known for its excellent toughness, low friction, and high melting point. When combined with long glass fibers, the resulting material is ideal for applications that require high strength and stiffness.
Long glass fiber nylon6 is created through a process that involves combining the nylon6 resin with long glass fibers. These fibers are typically around 10mm in length, much longer than the short 1mm fibers typically used in traditional reinforced plastics. The longer fibers provide greater mechanical reinforcement for the nylon6, resulting in a material that is stronger, more durable, and more resistant to deformation.
Benefit of LFT compound
------
In addition to its inherent strength and stiffness, long glass fiber nylon6 also has several other desirable properties. It has excellent impact resistance, making it suitable for applications where parts may be subjected to high forces or potential impact damage. It also has good chemical resistance, making it ideal for use in harsh environments where exposure to corrosive chemicals is a possibility.
Products Application
Long glass fiber nylon6 is commonly used in a wide range of industrial applications, including automotive parts, electrical and electronic components, consumer goods, and sporting equipment. In the automotive industry, it is used in structural components such as door panels, dashboards, and engine covers. In the electrical and electronic industry, it is used in housings and connectors for various types of electronic devices. In consumer goods, it is used in products such as appliances, power tools, and toys.
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.
