Processing and application

Long glass fiber reinforced materials can be molded by general injection molding machines, but the use of high shear force screw and nozzle must be avoided, so as not to cause too much fiber breakage; In terms of mold, it is recommended to adopt direct gluing design, which also reduces the degree of fiber fracture.

However, it is best to find out the optimal flow channel and mechanism design and predict the direction pattern of fiber in the early stage by using CAE mold flow analysis software such as Moldex3D system, so as to design the best product structure, so as to ensure the performance of LFRT. And meet customer product safety and durability needs. 

Compared with metal materials, long fiber reinforced thermoplastic composite materials can effectively reduce the weight of finished products, reduce processing costs, shorten the production cycle, can be used in large structural components or modules, such as automotive instrument panel bracket, door module, industrial fan blade, mechanical pump body, etc., in the advantages of cost-effective and lightweight, the future market application will be more and more extensive.
