LFT-G® PP LGF40-C | The High-Impact Upgrade for PP GF40

Product Description & Features

LFT-G PP LGF40-C material - extreme toughness copolymerLFT-G® PP LGF40 -NG04C is the ultimate toughness upgrade for designs specifying "PP GF40". Standard PP GF40 (short fiber) is often selected for its stiffness, but it is notoriously brittle and fails catastrophically upon impact, especially in cold weather. LFT-G® PP LGF40-NG04C is a copolymer (Copo) grade specifically engineered to solve this problem.

By combining a 40% long glass fiber (LFRT) network with a high-impact copolymer PP matrix, this material provides unparalleled durability. The long glass fiber skeleton stops cracks, while the copolymer base absorbs impact energy, making it ideal for parts like the Washing machine drum part.

  • √ Extreme Impact Resistance: Offers 3-5 times the impact strength of standard PP GF40, preventing failures from drops or collisions.
  • √ Superior Low-Temp Toughness: Remains ductile and fracture-resistant in sub-zero conditions where homopolymer grades (including SGF PP GF40) become extremely brittle.
  • √ Excellent Stiffness & Toughness Balance: The 40% LGF load provides high structural stiffness, while the Copolymer base ensures it doesn't sacrifice durability.

Processing Information

The following values are recommendations. We recommend desiccant / dry air dryers (moisture content below 0.1%).

To minimize fiber breakage and ensure optimal performance, a low-compression, general-purpose screw is highly recommended.

Parameter Recommendation
Drying Temperature 80 - 100 °C
Drying Time 2 - 4 hours
Melt Temperature (Nozzle ③) 220 - 260 °C
Mold Temperature (Zone ②) 40 - 80 °C
Back Pressure Low (to minimize fiber damage)

Applications for High-Impact Structural PP LFT

A structural automotive bumper beam for crash safety

Automotive Bumper Beams

A critical safety component. This material is used to replace metal beams, providing the high stiffness (from 40% long glass fiber) to manage crash forces and the high impact (from Copolymer PP) to absorb energy without shattering, even in winter.

Child Safety Seat Structures

The ideal material for high-end child safety seats. The 40% LFRT structure provides the rigid shell needed to protect the child, while the copolymer base ensures the part absorbs and dissipates impact energy, passing the most stringent low-temperature crash tests.

A rugged, heavy-duty industrial pallet for freezer use

Heavy-Duty Freezer Pallets

Standard plastics become dangerously brittle in cold storage. LFT PP LGF40-C provides both the high stiffness needed for heavy rack loads and the extreme low-temperature impact strength to withstand inevitable forklift collisions in freezer environments.

Key Questions Answered

1. Why choose this 40% Copolymer (C) over the 40% Homopolymer (H) grade?

A: The choice is "Stiffness vs. Toughness." The Homopolymer (H) grade offers maximum stiffness, but this Copolymer (C) grade is for "real-world" durability. It retains ~90% of the stiffness but adds 3-4 times the impact strength, especially at low temperatures. If your part will be dropped, impacted, or used in the cold, this is the safer, more reliable choice.

2. Can LFT PP LGF40-C really be used in a "Washing Machine Drum Part"?

A: Yes, it is a perfect application for parts like drum lifters. Standard PP GF40 (short fiber) is too brittle and cracks when hit by zippers or buttons. Our LFRT Copolymer grade has the extreme impact resistance to absorb these hits for a decade, while the 40% long glass fiber provides the stiffness and creep resistance to handle high-speed spins.

3. Why use "PP GF40" in the title if the product is LFT PP LGF40?

A: This is an SEO strategy. More customers search for the general term "PP GF40" (a short-fiber designation) than the specific term "LGF40." We use the high-traffic term to attract users and then present our LFT-G® long-fiber (LFRT) product as the high-performance upgrade that solves the brittleness and creep issues of standard PP GF40.
