Long fiber thermoplastic

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Long fiber reinforced thermoplastics (LFRT) are one of the fastest growing materials in the polymer composites industry. Their advantages of high specific tensile properties and recyclability have enabled them to replace metals and thermoset composites in several areas of daily life. Besides with the independence of choosing the reinforcement from a wide range of fibers and the matrix from a wide range of thermoplastics polymer in the LFRTs, its property can be changed according to customer needs. It is the material that has already been deep inside the ocean and has been utilized in space as well, because of their property of not reacting to temperature change.

LFRT's have also become an increasingly valuable and popular part of building envelope components such as windows and doors.
