Processing Technology for Long‑Fiber Thermoplastics

 

LFT-G® Technology Injection Molding Process

 

PA12 LCF40 Pellets

LFT‑G® injection molding process is specifically designed for long‑fiber reinforced thermoplastics. The screw geometry uses a low‑shear conveying profile that minimizes fiber attrition during melting, preserving the continuous‑fiber network achieved in our pultruded pellets right through to the finished part. This standardized platform ensures consistent, repeatable performance across production sites with very low batch‑to‑batch variability.

 

Low‑shear melting reduces fiber breakage and promotes uniform dispersion, even in parts with intricate geometries. Precise melt temperature regulation and optimized backpressure maintain the three‑dimensional fiber architecture critical for high mechanical performance. Modular screw designs offer flexibility for different material viscosities and part requirements – from thin‑walled housings to robust metal‑replacement components. Key benefits include shorter cycle times, minimized distortion, and reduced post‑molding finishing, leading to lower total system cost without sacrificing mechanical properties.

 

Operating Instructions for Injection Molding

PA12 LCF40 Processing Info

Parameter Recommended Range Key Notes for LFT‑G® PA12 LCF40
Drying Temperature ① 85 – 100 °C Use a desiccant dryer to prevent moisture‑induced degradation
Drying Time ① 2 – 4 hours Ensure residual moisture <0.1% before molding
Melt Temperature (Nozzle) ③ 240 – 270 °C Avoid excessive residence time to prevent thermal degradation
Mold Temperature ② 60 – 90 °C Balances flowability and part crystallinity
Injection Speed Slow to Moderate Minimize fiber breakage and internal shear

Critical Tips:

Screw: Low‑compression screw to reduce fiber breakage

Gating: Generous gating for smooth material flow
