High Strength Polypropylene Carbon Fiber Filled Thermoplastic Pellets

Why LCF Reinforced?

Carbon fiber reinforced composite (CFRP) is composed of carbon fiber as a reinforcement material and resin as a matrix material, and early carbon fiber composite materials are mainly used in the military field. With the improvement of material properties, molding process and price cost, carbon fiber composite materials are more and more used in general industry and sports and leisure fields.

Polypropylene is a low cost, excellent performance, a wide range of uses of polymer materials, through carbon fiber reinforcement, can improve the strength of polypropylene materials, thermal deformation temperature and dimensional stability, expand the application of polypropylene materials, widely used in electronic appliances, automobiles, construction and other fields. Especially in the automotive field, with the development of new energy vehicles and the trend of lightweight vehicles, carbon fiber reinforced materials are more and more widely used in the automotive field.

Carbon fiber reinforced polypropylene material features:
High mechanical properties
In line with the design trend of new energy vehicles
The lower density meets the needs of lightweight vehicles

The modified PP reinforced by carbon fiber has a series of advantages, such as light weight, high modulus, high specific strength, low coefficient of thermal expansion, high temperature resistance, heat shock resistance, corrosion resistance, good vibration absorption, etc., and can be applied to auto parts such as automobile sub-instrument assembly.

FAQ

Why are your pellets so long? 

What’s the difference between them and short fibers

We use long fiber composite materials because long fibers provide better mechanical properties compared to short fibers. Long fibers form a stronger structure within the material, offering higher tensile strength, impact resistance, and fatigue resistance. This makes long fiber composites perform better in applications that endure high loads, stress, and temperature changes. On the other hand, short fiber composites have shorter particles, which are suitable for general applications but do not achieve the same level of performance as long fiber composites, especially in high-performance scenarios.

Are there any special process requirements of long carbon fiber injection molding products?

We must consider the requirements of long carbon fiber for the injection molding machine screw nozzle, mold structure and injection molding process. Long carbon fiber is a relatively high cost material, and need to evaluate the cost performance problem in the selection process.
