How Much Glass Fiber is Needed to Make Polypropylene Truly Fire-Resistant?
2025-08-29
In modern industrial fields, glass fiber reinforced polypropylene (PP/GF), with its low density, excellent heat and creep resistance, and high cost-performance ratio, has become a “rising star” in industries such as electronics, aerospace, and automotive manufacturing. This material is often used to produce lightweight and thin-walled components as a substitute for steel and conventional engineeri...

Composite Joining Methods: Types and Key Considerations
2025-09-01
Overview Composite joining technology is a critical yet relatively weak link in the design and manufacturing of composite structures. Due to the anisotropy, brittleness, and low interlaminar strength of composites, their joining design differs significantly from metallic structures and requires special attention. The main joining methods can be categorized into three groups: 1. Mechanical Joining ...

A Quick Guide to the Power of Glass Fiber Reinforcement
2025-09-15
When you pick up your phone, take apart an auto part, or look at a home appliance casing, you might not realize that hidden inside these seemingly ordinary plastic products lies a kind of “invisible rebar” — glass fiber (GF). From PP + 20% GF to PA + 60% GF, these reinforcing fibers quietly support the plastic matrix, much like steel bars inside concrete. Today, let’s uncover the mystery of long g...

What Makes PEEK Superior to Other High-Performance Engineering Plastics
2025-11-11
PEEK (Polyether Ether Ketone) Material Overview Introduction PEEK (Polyether Ether Ketone) is a linear aromatic high-performance polymer with repeating units of –O–Ph–O–C(=O)–Ph– in its molecular backbone. It is a semi-crystalline thermoplastic and a high-performance specialty engineering plastic with numerous advantages over other specialty plastics. PEEK has a melting point of 334 °C, a softenin...
