What's long fiber material?
Long fiber material, also referred to as long fiber reinforced thermoplastic (LFRT) composite, is a type of composite material in which continuous, long, and unidirectional fibers are embedded in a thermoplastic matrix. This results in a material with exceptional strength, stiffness, and toughness. This material has become increasingly popular due to advancements in its manufacturing technologies and its unique properties.
Why PP LGF material Can be used for washing machine part?
PP LGF material, also known as Polypropylene Long Glass Fiber, is a high-performance engineering thermoplastic composite material that is widely used in various industries for its unique properties. When most people think of LGF, they envision automotive parts, but PP LGF is also used in washing machine parts for many reasons.
One of the main reasons why PP LGF material can be used for washing machine parts is because it is highly resistant to corrosion, chemicals, and abrasion. These properties make it ideal for use in the harsh and often acidic environment of a washing machine. Additionally, PP LGF material is tough and durable, making it perfect for handling the loads that a washing machine typically experiences.
Another advantage of PP LGF material is its dimensional stability. This means it retains its shape and size even after being exposed to varying temperatures, humidity, and stress for long periods of time. This is important for washing machine parts that are exposed to constant cycles of high temperatures and water during the washing process.
Furthermore, PP LGF material has low water absorption, so it will not absorb water or swell. This makes it an excellent choice for washing machine parts that need to be resistant to water damage over time.
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% 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.
