Industry Applications: Absolute Strength
Cross-Car Beams & Brackets
A critical structural component requiring absolute stiffness to hold steering columns and electronics. LFT-G® PA6 LGF60 replaces multi-piece steel assemblies, reducing NVH (Noise, Vibration, Harshness) and providing significant front-end weight reduction.
Submersible Pump & Fluid Casings
Housings subjected to extreme internal pressure and abrasive fluids benefit from the wear-resistant Nylon 6 matrix and the rigid 60% fiber skeleton. It eliminates the corrosion risks found in stainless steel while ensuring zero-leakage performance under thermal cycling.
Heavy-Duty Structural Furniture
Replaces die-cast aluminum in structural office chair bases and table supports. The sleek black PA6 LGF60 finish delivers the high-end cosmetic look consumers demand, with the weight-bearing capacity to pass the most rigorous BIFMA durability standards.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Is 60% fiber loading too high for complex injection molded geometries?
A: While the viscosity is higher than standard nylon, our LFT-G® pultrusion technology ensures the fiber and resin are thoroughly coupled. By using high-pressure injection and optimized mold temperatures (90-120°C), we successfully mold complex thin-walled parts that would be impossible with standard short-fiber compounds.
Q: How does the weight of LGF60 compare to Magnesium and Aluminum?
A: Our PA6 LGF60 has a density of ~1.68 g/cm³, making it comparable to Magnesium (~1.74 g/cm³) and much lighter than Aluminum (~2.7 g/cm³). By switching to LGF60, you can achieve the stiffness of aluminum with the weight profile of magnesium, while gaining corrosion immunity.
Q: Does moisture absorption cause significant dimensional changes in LGF60?
A: Because the 60% long glass fiber volume fraction is so high, the polymer chains are almost completely locked in place. This results in significantly lower dimensional warpage and stiffness loss after moisture conditioning compared to standard short-fiber PA6 GF30 or GF50.
