FAQs of Long Fiber Reinforced Thermoplastic (LFRT):

Q: How is Long Fiber Reinforced Thermoplastic (LFRT) typically processed?

A: LFRT is processed through injection molding, compression molding, or extrusion. These methods allow manufacturers to create parts with varied shapes, surface finishes, and mechanical properties to meet specific application needs.

Q: What makes LFRT more beneficial compared to conventional short glass fiber reinforced thermoplastics?

A: LFRT provides superior impact strength, higher tensile and flexural modulus, and lower shrinkage, resulting in greater durability and long-term performance in demanding applications compared to traditional short fiber reinforced plastics.

Q: When should LFRT be chosen for an engineering application?

A: LFRT is ideal when high mechanical strength, good thermal stability (up to 130C), and low weight are required, such as in automotive, electrical, or industrial components where reliability and performance matter.

Q: Where is LFRT commonly used?

A: LFRT commonly finds application in automotive parts, electrical housings, industrial machine components, sports equipment, and furniture due to its combination of strength, lightweight, and insulation properties.

Q: What is the primary benefit of using LFRT in automotive or electrical manufacturing?

A: The primary benefit is its excellent strength-to-weight ratio, combined with low water absorption and good electrical insulation. This contributes to safer, more durable, and lightweight finished products.

Q: How does LFRTs water absorption compare to other engineering plastics?

A: LFRT exhibits very low water absorption (less than 0.2% after 24 hours), which ensures dimensional stability and performance even in humid or wet environments, outperforming many traditional engineering plastics.
