PLA-LGF can be processed using conventional plastic processing techniques like injection molding and extrusion, offering good adaptability in manufacturing.  It is widely used in industries like automotive, consumer electronics, 3D printing, and eco-friendly packaging due to its combination of high performance and sustainability.

PLA itself is an environmentally friendly thermoplastic, known for its biodegradability. However, it has limited mechanical properties, such as strength, toughness, and heat resistance. By incorporating long glass fibers, the performance of PLA is significantly improved, making it suitable for demanding applications.

Our PA66 Long Glass Fiber Reinforced Material is a high-performance thermoplastic composite developed for applications demanding superior mechanical strength, dimensional stability, and heat resistance. Ideal for metal replacement and high-load structural components.

In the manufacturing industry, in order to match some output products that require higher quality than usual, manufacturers will mix into PP plastic with glass fiber. These two different forms of glass enhancement are inherently tough and durable, so when mixed, glass-filled polypropylene materials become lighter and stronger.

Polypropylene, also known as PP or polypropene, is a polyolefin or saturated polymer. It is a low-density thermoplastic with good resistance to heat. Other characteristics of PP include: chemical resistance, elasticity, toughness, fatigue resistance, and electrical insulation capability.

PBT Plastic | Long Glass Fiber Reinforced PBT (PBT-LGF) What is PBT? Polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) is a semi-crystalline engineering thermoplastic polyester. It is produced via polycondensation of 1,4-butylene glycol and terephthalic acid (PTA) or dimethyl terephthalate (DMT), forming a milky white translucent to opaque resin. PBT exhibits excellent mechanical strength, chemical resistance, thermal stability, and electrical insulation properties, making it ideal for demanding engineering applications. Basic Properties of PBT Specific gravity: 1.31 g/cm³ Melting point: 225~275°C Glass transition temperature (Tg): 22–43°C Rockwell hardness (R scale): 118 Water absorption: 0.34% Molding shrinkage: 1.7~2.3% PBT-LGF | Long Glass Fiber Reinforced PBT PBT-LGF combines PBT with long glass fibers, improving mechanical strength, fatigue resistance, dimensional stability, and creep resistance. These properties are maintained even under high-temperature conditions.

A: Yes. Injection molding machines, screws, nozzles, and mold structures must meet long fiber reinforcement requirements. Q: How to prevent rough surfaces or floating fibers in PBT-LGF injection molding? A: Ensure plastic particles are fully dried and plasticized, adjust mold temperature appropriately, and polish mold surfaces for smooth finishes.

What is Long Glass Fiber (LGF)? Long glass fiber reinforced plastics (LFT) are engineered materials in which long glass fibers and additives are incorporated into a base thermoplastic. This significantly improves mechanical strength, heat resistance, dimensional stability, and the overall performance of the material. Why Reinforce with Long Glass Fiber? High heat resistance: LFT significantly increases the thermal performance, especially for nylon-based plastics. Reduced shrinkage & higher rigidity: Fiber reinforcement restricts polymer chain movement, improving dimensional stability and stiffness. Improved impact resistance: Reinforced plastics are less prone to stress cracking and have better toughness. High strength: Long glass fibers increase tensile, compressive, and bending strength. Flame retardancy: Most LFT materials are self-extinguishing due to additives and fiber content. Why Choose Long Glass Fiber over Short Glass Fiber? Longer fiber length significantly enhances mechanical properties. High specific stiffness and strength with excellent impact resistance, ideal for automotive applications. Superior creep resistance and dimensional stability for precision parts. Excellent fatigue resistance for long-life components. Improved stability under hot and humid environments. Minimal fiber damage during molding due to relative fiber movement in the mold. Appearance of PP-LGF Applications of PP-LGF Automotive Parts Front end modules, door modules, shift mechanisms, electronic accelerator pedals, dashboards, cooling fans, battery carriers, bumper brackets, underbody protection plates, sunroof frames, etc. – replacing reinforced PA or metal components.

Polyamide, which is also known by the trade name, Nylon, has excellent heat resistant properties, especially when combined with additives and filler materials. In addition to this, Nylon is very resistant to abrasion. Xiamen LFT offers a wide range of temperature-resistant nylons with many different filler materials. About PA66-LGF compounds Nylon 6,6, also written as nylon 6-6, nylon 66, or nylon 6/6, is a more crystalline version of nylon 6. It is also referred to as polyamide 66 or PA 66. It has improved mechanical properties due to its more ordered molecular structure. Nylon 66 for machining has improved temperature resistance and lower rates of water absorption when compared to standard nylon 6.  The advantages of nylon 6,6 are that the yield strength is higher than nylon 6 and nylon 610. It has high strength, toughness, rigidity, and low coefficient of friction in a wide temperature range. In addition, it is oil resistant and resistant to chemical reagents and solvents. However, PA66 has strong hygroscopicity and poor dimensional stability, which limits its application. In order to obtain nylon 66 engineering material with higher strength, it should be modified by glass fiber reinforcement. The mechanical properties of long glass fiber reinforced nylon 66 (LGFR-PA66) are obviously better than those of short glass fiber reinforced nylon 66 (SGFR-PA66), and the molding processing performance is also better. It can be molded by various molding methods such as injection molding and compression molding, and complex components can also be formed. Therefore, long glass fiber reinforced nylon 66 can be widely used in building materials, aerospace, electronic devices, furniture and other fields, especially in the automotive industry application market. The production process of long glass fiber reinforced nylon 66 is different from that of short glass fiber reinforced nylon 66. The short glass fiber reinforced nylon 66 particle is chopped under the friction and shearing of screw and barrel, and the short glass fiber reinforced nylon 66 particle is obtained with the length of glass fiber monofilament about 0.5mm. The length of some glass fiber monofilament in the final product is lower than the critical length of reinforcement, and the glass fiber is easy to be extracted from the nylon 66 matrix when the product is stressed. The strength of glass fiber is not fully utilized, and the mechanical properties of the product are not high. Long glass fiber reinforced nylon 66 has better reinforcement effect and dimensional stability, and the rigidity, tensile, bending, impact resistance and fatigue resistance of the manufactured products are better, and the service life is longer.
