Advanced composite materials called Long Fiber Thermoplastics (LFT) combine the advantages of thermoplastic polymers with the reinforcement of long, continuous fibers. These materials are significant in a variety of industrial applications because they provide a special blend of mechanical strength, toughness, and processing simplicity.
Integrating long fibers, often made of glass or carbon, into a thermoplastic matrix is the basis of LFT. This configuration bestows on the composite excellent mechanical qualities such as strong tensile and flexural strength, impact resistance, and stiffness.
In comparison to conventional short-fiber composites, the performance of the material is improved because the continuous nature of the fibers ensures that load distribution is efficient throughout the material.
LFT’s capacity to be processed using well-known thermoplastic methods like injection molding is one of its main benefits. When the polymer resin is combined with the long fibers, pellets are created that are simple to mould into elaborate structures. As a result, manufacturing is made simpler and lightweight components with outstanding structural integrity can be produced.
The long fiber thermoplastics accounted for $XX Billion in 2022 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2023 to 2030.
The first production line for Complt and OnForce long fiber reinforced thermoplastic composites in Asia has been added, according to Avient Corporation, a leading supplier of specialized and sustainable material solutions and services.
In order to address the rising demand for composite materials in applications that need superior impact strength, elastic modulus, and material strength, a new line was set up at Avient’s Asia regional headquarters in Shanghai. Additionally, the staff at Avient Design, which consists of industrial designers with specialized training and project engineers, is well-versed in both materials and molding.
They are well-equipped to offer our customers critical design and material insights, assisting them in launching ground-breaking products that can satisfy the demands of their rapidly changing industry.
