Frequently Asked Questions
What is the advantage of Long Glass Fiber (LGF) over short fiber?
LGF provides significantly higher fatigue strength and heat resistance. At 120°C, its fatigue strength is twice that of short glass fiber reinforced materials.
Can LGF PP be used for thin-walled parts?
Yes, LGF PP offers high flow characteristics, making it excellent for complex thin-walled structural components while maintaining design freedom.
What carrier materials are available for these granules?
Available carriers include PP, PE, Nylon 6 & 66, PTB, TPU, PPS, and PPA, allowing for versatility across different industrial needs.
How does LGF PP contribute to automotive manufacturing?
It simplifies the assembly process by allowing part integration, reduces vehicle weight, and ensures durability in components like bumpers and instrument panels.
Is LGF PP resistant to corrosion?
Yes, LGF PP is inherently non-corrosive, which extends the lifespan of components in harsh environments compared to metal alternatives.
What is the maximum glass fiber content?
The maximum added percentage for these long glass-fiber granules is typically 30%.
