Long Fiber Thermoplastics (LFT) are a type of plastic that are reinforced with long fibers, such as glass, carbon, or aramid. This reinforcement provides improved mechanical properties, such as increased stiffness, strength, and impact resistance. LFTs are used in a variety of applications, including automotive, consumer goods, and industrial products.
LFTs are typically produced by compounding the long fibers with a thermoplastic resin, such as polypropylene, polyamide, or polycarbonate. The fibers are then extruded into pellets, which are then injection molded into the desired shape. This process allows for the production of complex parts with improved mechanical properties.
The LFT market is growing due to the increasing demand for lightweight and durable materials. The automotive industry is a major consumer of LFTs, as they are used in a variety of components, such as bumpers, instrument panels, and door panels.
Some companies in the LFT market include BASF, Celanese, SABIC, and Solvay. Show Less Read more
