Innovation Bulletin
Short Glass Fiber Reinforced Compounds
- Improve tensile and flexural performance of base resins
- Reduce part warpage and increase temperature performance
- Create strong, lightweight parts with cost efficient compounds
RTP Company's Short Glass Fiber Compounds bridge the gap between price/performance ratios of long fiber and neat resins. They allow the creation lightweight parts that are excellent for metal replacement applications where cost is an issue.
Available in loading levels from 10 to 50% and in combination with other additives to enhance multiple properties simultaneously, these compounds offer excellent strength and dimensional stability, often at a lower cost than long fiber solutions.
A version of the Short Glass Fiber Compounds innovation bulletin suitable for printing or saving is available as a PDF (Portable Document Format) file. PDF files require the Adobe Reader software for viewing.
