LFT-G®PP GF30 (LGF30): 30% Long Glass Fiber Polypropylene Composite
Details
High Impact Polypropylene with 30% Long Glass Fiber
√High Strength: Excellent stiffness/impact resistance to replace metal
√Weight Reduction: 15-20% lighter than short fiber alternatives for automotive parts
√Dimensional Stability: Low creep and low shrinkage for precision molding
LFT-G® PP LGF30 features a 3D structural network of 12mm long fibers, which provides a significantly higher strength-to-weight ratio compared to traditional die-cast aluminum . By switching to our composite, you can reduce component weight by up to 25% while maintaining structural integrity, directly lowering fuel consumption and logistics costs for your automotive projects.
Unmatched Impact Resistance in Extreme Cold
Our material retains exceptional energy absorption properties even at -30°C . Unlike standard PP GF30 which becomes brittle, LFT-G®'s long-fiber skeleton prevents crack propagation . This ensures your end-products, such as water pump housings or outdoor tools, remain durable and safe in harsh environments, eliminating expensive recall risks and boosting your brand's reputation for quality.
Automotive fans face massive centrifugal forces that easily warp standard plastics. Used to replace short fiber glass PP to improve heat resistance and reduce vibration noise. LFT-G® PP LGF30 provided the necessary dimensional stability for high-precision molding.
Home Appliances: Washing Machine Outer Tub
The high fatigue resistance of our PP LGF30 ensures a service life of over 10 years for washing machines. It withstands high-speed rotation and constant chemical exposure.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Can I use my existing PP GF30 molds for PP LGF30?
A: Yes, but some adjustments to the gate size(>5mm) and injection speed are recommended to minimize fiber breakage and optimize strength.
Q: How does LFT-G® ensure fiber length consistency?
A: We use a proprietary pultrusion process that ensures every pellet contains continuous fibers equal to the pellet length (typically 10-12mm).
Q: How does the weight of LGF30 compare to Aluminum?
A: Our LGF30 compound has a density of approximately 1.21 g/cm³. Cast aluminum has a density of around 2.7 g/cm³. This means that by switching to our material, you immediately cut the weight of the component by almost 50% while maintaining the necessary structural rigidity.
Pushing the Limits of Plastic?
