Long Carbon Fiber Reinforced PLA What is Long Carbon Fiber PLA? Biobased polylactic acid (PLA) is an eco-friendly thermoplastic material that is recyclable and widely used in additive manufacturing applications. When reinforced with long carbon fiber, PLA achieves significantly improved stiffness, strength, dimensional stability, and lightweight performance. Long carbon fiber reinforced PLA provides: Excellent layer adhesion Low warpage during printing High structural rigidity Lightweight mechanical performance Enhanced surface appearance Compared with standard PLA materials, carbon fiber reinforced PLA delivers better toughness and structural support while maintaining a matte black premium appearance. What is Long Carbon Fiber? Long carbon fiber reinforced composites provide excellent weight reduction while maintaining outstanding strength and stiffness properties. Due to their superior mechanical performance, long carbon fiber thermoplastics are widely used as ideal alternatives to metal materials in lightweight engineering applications. Main Characteristics ✔ Moderate fracture strain with excellent toughness ✔ Very high melt strength and viscosity ✔ Excellent dimensional accuracy and stability ✔ Easy processing on various printing platforms ✔ Attractive matte black surface finish ✔ Excellent impact resistance and lightweight properties Applications of Long Carbon Fiber PLA Long carbon fiber PLA is suitable for: Frames and structural supports Protective shells and housings Drone components and propellers Chemical instruments RC hobby applications Lightweight engineering parts It is particularly favored in drone manufacturing and RC applications where high stiffness and lightweight performance are required.

PLA is an opaque plastic suitable for making medical components as well as for prototyping applications. PLA is a high-strength but brittle plastic that cannot be used in applications that experience shock loads. The lactic acid building blocks of PLA can be made from fermented plant starch, like corn, under controlled conditions. It takes less energy to produce PLA than petroleum-based thermoplastics, making it relatively eco-friendly. PLA is often regarded as being biodegradable.  What Are the Advantages of PLA? Some of the advantages of PLA plastic are listed below: Biocompatibility: PLA is non-toxic to humans. It can remain in contact with the skin for long periods without any negative effects. The decomposition products of PLA are also non-toxic: it degrades into harmless lactic acid. It is often used for stents and sutures that are designed to break down inside the body over several months. Low-Energy for Production: PLA takes less energy to produce compared to other petroleum-based plastics due to its relatively low melting point of 165 °C. The polymerization of PLA also consumes 25 to 55 % less energy than other conventional petroleum-based polymers. Mechanical Properties: PLA has good room temperature strength and stiffness, but is not suitable for sudden impact loads.  Food Safe: PLA is non-toxic and is generally recognized as safe by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration). FAQ *What processes are LFT materials suitable for? LFT material is mainly suitable for injection molding, as well as partial extrusion. The requirements for injection molding machines are mainly reflected in the nozzle. *Why are your products so long? Why does the material I used before, filled with glass fiber, look different than this? Although long fiber modified materials (LFT) and short fiber modified materials (SFT) are through the combination of fiber and resin to produce higher properties of the complex. However, the two materials are different from the production process, internal structure, appearance, performance, application and so on. Production process: The fiber of SFT is chopped and mixed with resin, and the production process of LFT is melt impregnation. Internal structure: The fibers inside SFT particles are short and disordered, while the fibers inside LGF are neatly arranged and longer. Appearance: The length of SFT is usually less than 3 mm, and the length of LFT is 5-24mm. Performance: LFT impact performance than SFT increased 1-3 times, tensile strength increased by more than 50%, mechanical properties improved by 50-80%. Application: LFT is more suitable for use in products with high strength requirements, as load-bearing parts and structural parts. *What is your MOQ? MOQ is 25kg *Do you support custom service？ Color: Please let us know which Pantone color you want to customize Length: Lengtjh between 5mm-24mm can be customized. If there are no special requirements, the length of the plastic particles is 10-12 mm. Our custom service is free, but the MOQ is 500kg. *Where is your factory? At present, our company headquarters and factory are in Xiamen, China. We also have several offices in other provinces in China, and an exclusive agent in Turkey.
