LFT-G® LGF40-PP LFT Composite For Auto Part

The PP LGF40 material has become increasingly popular in the industry, especially for parts that require high durability and strength. LFT-G® PP LGF40 stands for Polypropylene Long Glass Fiber 40%. This means that the material is made up of 40% long glass fiber and 40% polypropylene. The long glass fibers are what give the material its strength and durability, while the polypropylene provides flexibility and resistance to heat and chemicals.

Long Fiber Reinforced Plastic Composite (LFT Composite) is a composite of long fibers and plastics, where the fibers are mainly glass fibers, carbon fibers, and natural fibers as reinforcing materials, LFT materials maintain longer fiber lengths compared to short-fiber reinforcing materials to improve the total performance of the composite material.

The Advantage of LFT Composite for auto part is lighting weight.The specific gravity of A3 steel and brass in metal material is more than 7g/cm³, the specific gravity of aluminum is lighter, but it is also 2.7g/cm³. The specific gravity of most plastics is between 0.9 and 1.5g/cm³, and the specific gravity of long-fiber-reinforced composite LFT material is less than 2g/cm³. More and more enterprises are adopting plastics instead of metal material in the automobile lightweighting technology, which can reduce the total weight of the automobile and increase the payload.

Glass Fiber offers lighter mass, extra strength, and greater impact performance. The mechanical properties of LFT PP materials filled with long glass fibers are significantly improved, and their applications range from front and rear fender modules to instrument panels and center console carriers in a wide range of automotive components.

Xiamen LFT-G has a wide range of glass fibers for reinforcing automotive thermoplastic materials for different processes.Xiamen LFT-G® Ltd has prepared LFT-PP pellets with 20%, 30%, 40% and 50%-70% glass fiber mass fractions using an LFT test line and molding equipment, and has successfully applied pellets with a 40% glass fiber mass fraction to automotive wing panels.
