Long Fiber Compounds
Flame Retardant Long Fiber Compounds produce tough, lightweight parts with better mechanical properties than short-fiber reinforced thermoplastics. These materials dramatically increase impact strength without sacrificing flexural modulus, all at a lower cost than compounds using high temperature resins.
Product Characteristics
- Resins available include polypropylene, most nylons.
Typical Applications
- Fan housings
- Industrial equipment
- Handheld tools
- Components in public and private transportation, including under-the-hood and fuel line
