PP-LGF Composite Grade Matrix & 3D Fiber Network
Long glass fiber reinforced polypropylene (PP-LGF) composites are engineered thermoplastic materials designed to bridge the performance gap between short fiber thermoplastics and die-cast metals. During injection molding, continuous 10–12 mm glass fibers intertwine to build an internal 3D skeletal fiber network within the component. This network distributes mechanical loads evenly, imparting superior tensile stiffness, fatigue endurance, and dimensional stability with ultra-low isotropic warpage.

Specialty Application Cases & Custom Value

Automotive Tailgates & Sunroof Frames
Automotive tailgates, sunroof frames, and tank bracket modules require high melt flow coupled with isotropic dimensional stability. Specifying high-flow LFT-G® PP-LGF30 allows tier-1 automotive suppliers to mold thin-walled structural panels without aesthetic surface sink marks. Replacing multi-piece metal weldments with single-shot composite moldings trims total assembly weight by 35% while eliminating atmospheric rusting and galvanic joint failure.

Commercial Washer Tub Supports & Brackets
Washing machine outer tub carriers, triangle brackets, and vacuum cleaner motor housings undergo continuous high-speed rotation under hot water detergent immersion. Utilizing LFT-G® PP-LGF50 provides an ultra-high 11,500 MPa tensile modulus to withstand dynamic imbalance forces. The hydrophobic polypropylene matrix retains zero moisture swelling (≤0.03%), outperforming short-fiber compounds by preventing shaft misalignment and bearing wear.

Weathering & Flame-Retardant Industrial Tool Housings
Heavy-duty power tool casings, lawnmower decks, and outdoor fluid control valves must survive drop impact under freezing temperatures and direct solar radiation. Custom modified LFT-G® PP LGF composites incorporating halogen-free Flame Retardant (UL94 V-0) and UV-stabilizers deliver high impact strength and self-extinguishing safety, ensuring long-term outdoor operation without surface chalking or brittle cracking.
Processing Guidelines & Tailored Formulations
Optimizing injection molding processing parameters ensures that the 3D continuous glass fiber network remains intact during plastication. Our compounding laboratory specializes in tailored property modifications including Halogen-Free Flame Retardant (UL94 V-0), Long-Term Heat Aging Stabilization, UV Weathering Protection, High Melt Flow Enhancement, and Custom Color Matching.

| Processing Parameter | Recommended Value Range |
| Pre-Drying Temperature / Time | 80–100 °C / 2–4 Hours (Moisture < 0.1%) |
| Melt Temperature Profile | 200–250 °C (Varying by fiber loading) |
| Mold Temperature Zone | 40–80 °C |
| Injection Pressure Range | 70–120 MPa |
