PLA (polylactic acid) is a semi-crystalline thermoplastic polyester. It is derived from renewable resources and is therefore classified as a bioplastic. PLA is usually made from plant starch. This origin eventually resulted in the two key monomers used in PLA synthesis - lactic acid and lactide. Each monomer can be used to produce PLA by a number of different processes. Low molecular weight PLA was first produced in 1932. In 1952, DuPont further developed the process and created the high molecular weight PLA. PLA is easy to print. It is biodegradable and therefore more environmentally friendly than ABS. The production of PLA also requires much less energy. Long Carbon Fiber Reinforced Thermoplastic LFT® is A LGF or LCF compound , through Centerfill manufacturing method which Offers exceptional Properties for weight and Cost reduction. With pellet length of 7-25mm and a range of 20%-70% of LGFor LCF content , LFT® Products family consist of Tailor made solutions to the Industry’s vast requirements , such as: ·  LFT® -  Fulfills heat stability requirements. · LFT® - Offer Climate resistant Properties including UV resistance. · LFT® - Ultra Performance  & safety , with exceptional impact resistance  Features, especially at low temperatures. · LFT® - Cost Effective P.s. Centerfill manufacturing method：Centerfill uses our proprietary technology to introduce glass roving (GFR), which consists of several thousand filaments, into an impregnating device and melt the thermoplastic resin, uniformly impregnating between the filaments and then cutting them into pellets.  Manufacture. How Does Composite Differ From Plastics? Plastic components are generally made from a single polymer injection, or sometimes a two-stage process that overmolds rubber onto a part for specific applications such as grip and seal. They are relatively easy to manufacture, generally involving a single-stage operation. Composites, on the other hand, are always two or more co-processed materials, achieving better properties than the individual components can deliver. They are also intrinsically more complex to manufacture. They generally require manual lay-up processes and tend to be much more expensive in labor terms than simple, automatable molding operation outputs. Composites are generally intrinsically stronger than equivalent plastic parts by a large factor. This allows composite parts to deliver higher strength and reduced weight, compared with a similar plastic component. Plastic parts are, in most regards, shape, and size unlimited. Composite parts are rarely used for very small components but can be very large, but they are quite restricted in the complexity of shapes and fine detail. Broadly, plastics are used for low-cost, high-volume applications, whereas composites are considerably more costly and are used for high-value and lower-volume tasks.  Xiamen LFT Composite Plastic Co., Ltd.
