Long Fiber Compounds

[cover shot]
  • Replace metal with lightweight, strong parts
  • Reduce processing costs and increase throughput
  • Part design consolidation for overall cost reduction

Long Fiber Compounds (LFC's) produce tough, yet lightweight injection molded parts. They dramatically increase impact strength without sacrificing flexural modulus. When used as a metal replacement, they resist corrosion and reduce processing costs by eliminating expensive metal finishing steps.

RTP Company's engineers put years of experience with long fiber compounding to work to meet your exact performance requirements. We'll make our selection from a broad range of resins, including PA, PP, PPA, PC, PEEK, PEI, PES, and RTPU, and fibers such as glass, carbon, stainless steel, and aramid.
