2-10 working daysThe addition of long glass fibers enhances the mechanical properties of PLA, such as strength, stiffness, and impact resistance. This makes LFR-PLA ideal for applications requiring high load-bearing capacity.
Additionally, the thermal performance of the material is improved, allowing it to withstand higher temperatures compared to pure PLA. This makes it suitable for automotive parts and electronic device housings.

Applications
PLA-LGF reinforced with long glass fiber:
- Structural parts in consumer electronics – such as internal brackets, tablet stands, and casing supports, where enhanced strength and dimensional stability are needed
- Eco-friendly automotive interiors – including trim panels, decorative elements, and non-load-bearing enclosures, where biodegradability and mechanical integrity are both valued
- Sustainable packaging components – such as reusable crates, protective frames, and durable containers requiring better impact resistance and stiffness than standard PLA
- Household appliance housings – offering improved heat resistance and fatigue performance in applications like vacuum cleaner frames or kitchen device bases
- Office equipment parts – like printer frames, monitor stands, and casing elements that require long-term durability under moderate loads
- Agricultural and garden tool components – including handles, casings, and mounts where compostability and structural strength must be balanced
- Lightweight structural components – used in furniture or modular assembly systems seeking a balance between sustainability, stiffness, and dimensional accuracy
- Biodegradable product enclosures – for consumer goods needing both a green material profile and improved mechanical reliability over standard PLA or short glass fiber PLA
