While standard short glass fiber pp shatters under heavy loads, our PP+50%LGF material with continuous pultrusion technology preserves a 10-12mm internal 3D fiber skeleton. This ensures total structural integrity, exceptional fatigue resistance, and zero moisture absorption, making LFT-G® PP LGF50 the ultimate metal replacement for severe industrial environments.
The following values are typical data for LFT-G® PP LGF50 and are for reference only. Data is for Dry-As-Molded (DAM) state. Please contact us for the official Technical Data Sheet (TDS).
The following values are standard processing recommendations. To protect the critical 50% long glass fiber network from shearing and fiber attrition, always use a low-compression screw, back pressure under 50 psi, and generous gating.

Multi-Industry Application Cases
Automotive Front-End Modules
Vehicle front-ends require maximum functional rigidity to support critical components under continuous vibration. LFT-G® PP LGF50 replaces die-cast metal sub-frames, delivering massive weight reduction, perfect acoustic dampening, and exceptional crash energy absorption.
Washing Machine Structural Units
Flawlessly optimized for washing machine plastic part manufacturing, such as bearing spiders and outer tubs. The dense 50% fiber skeleton guarantees zero moisture expansion and eliminates high-speed spin cycle resonance, drastically outperforming nylon in wet environments.
Industrial Fluid Systems & Pumps
Heavy-duty fluid equipment requires strict corrosion immunity and zero deformation under extreme pressure. LFT-G® PP LGF50 replaces cast iron housings, preventing leakage and water-hammer cracking while instantly lowering total component cost.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Is 50% fiber loading too difficult to injection mold?
A: While standard molding machines work, a 50% fiber volume requires parameter adjustments. We strongly advise dropping back-pressure under 50 psi and using low-compression screws. This protects the long glass fiber structure, ensuring the final part achieves its true 11,000 MPa modulus.
Q: How does LFT-G® PP LGF50 compare to PA66 GF50 in metal replacement?
A: The critical advantage is moisture immunity. Nylon 66 (PA66) absorbs water, severely lowering its strength and causing dimensional warping. LFT-G® PP LGF50 absorbs zero moisture, ensuring consistent structural rigidity and precise fitment in highly humid or submerged conditions.
Q: Can it truly replace die-cast Aluminum?
A: Yes. With a flexural modulus exceeding 11,000 MPa, it matches the functional rigidity needed for complex brackets and structural frames. By switching to LFT-G® PP LGF50, manufacturers completely eliminate costly CNC machining and anti-corrosion treatments.
