Long Glass Fibre Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) Granules - PolyPropylene (PP)
Core Specifications:
• Long Glass-Fiber Max. added percentage: 30%
• Carrier material: PP (Polypropylene)
Long Glass Fiber Reinforced Polypropylene offers a powerful combination of performance metrics. The fatigue strength at a high temperature of 120°C is twice that of short glass fiber reinforced PP, and even exceeds the heat resistance of glass fiber reinforced nylon by 10%.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: What makes Long Glass Fiber (LGF) PP different from short glass fiber PP?
LGF PP provides significantly higher fatigue strength, especially at elevated temperatures. At 120°C, its fatigue strength is twice that of standard short glass fiber reinforced polypropylene.
Q2: How does LGF PP compare to nylon in terms of heat resistance?
LGF PP exhibits excellent thermal properties, offering approximately 10% higher heat resistance compared to traditional glass fiber reinforced nylon.
Q3: Is LGF PP suitable for thin-walled designs?
Yes, LGF PP features high flow characteristics, making it an ideal choice for complex, thin-walled structural components without sacrificing strength.
Q4: What are the main benefits for the automotive sector?
It offers a lightweight, non-corrosive alternative to metal, which simplifies assembly through part integration and improves fuel efficiency by reducing vehicle weight.
Q5: Can LGF PP be used in home appliances?
Absolutely. It is commonly used in high-stress appliance parts like mixer gears, fan blades, and washing machine components due to its dimensional stability.
Q6: What is the maximum glass fiber content available?
This specific grade of GFRP granules supports a maximum long glass fiber addition of 30% with a PP carrier material.
