LFT-G® Long Fiber Reinforced Polypropylene
Versatile Light weighting For Automotive Components
Long Fiber Thermoplastic Polypropylene (LFT PP), particularly our LFT-G® range, offers an exceptional balance of light weighting and high strength crucial for modern automotive design. By reinforcing a polypropylene matrix with continuous long fibers, these materials achieve significant weight reduction compared to metals, leading to improved fuel efficiency and extended electric vehicle range, alongside enhanced handling. The versatile LFT-G® PP portfolio caters to a wide spectrum of automotive requirements, with various grades engineered for specific properties. This includes high heat resistance for engine compartment components, UV resistance for exterior and interior parts exposed to sunlight, and flame retardant (FR) for safety-critical applications. LFT-G® other grades also offer enhanced stiffness and tailored impact performance, making them suitable for applications ranging from structural parts like front-end modules and bumper beams to interior and exterior trim, and under-the-hood components.
Benefits Of Long Fiber Polypropylene
- High strength and stiffness (Higher mechanical performance over short-fiber PP)
- Low density and lightweight (Superior strength-to-weight ratio for Replace metal)
- Excellent fatigue endurance (120°C fatigue strength doubles conventional GF-PP)
- Low/High-temperature resistance (-30% to 120°C)
- Good dimensional stability (Low warpage and creep deformation)
- Chemical and weather resistance (Suitable for harsh environments/outdoor use)
- Easy processing via injection molding (Compatible with complex geometries)
- Low anisotropy (uniform reinforcement in multiple planes)
LFT-G® materials enable significant weight reduction, enhanced component performance, and design flexibility, potentially leading to cost savings and compliance with safety and environmental regulations. By offering a range of grades with specific properties like heat resistance, UV resistance, and flame retardant, we empower automotive manufacturers to meet diverse application needs and develop next-generation vehicles.

Design & Guide
LFT part design process is based on in-depth stress analysis and fiber orientation prediction, thereby achieving lightweight and high-performance objectives. Our core technologies include:
- Flow Field Controlled Fiber Orientation and Weld Line Management
- Stress-matched Fiber Alignment, with fibers are precisely aligned in the direction of the main stresses.
- Low shear force molding methods are adopted, along with generously sized runners/gates, to reduce damage to fibers.
- Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and Melt Flow Analysis (MFA) tools are utilized for comprehensive design evaluation and optimization.
