Xiamen Baekeland High Strength Modified LFT (Long Fiber Thermoplastic) for Automotive Structural Components & Industrial Equipment
Xiamen Baekeland Modified LFT (Long Fiber Thermoplastic) is a high-performance composite material consisting of thermoplastic resin reinforced with continuous or long glass or carbon fibers. This modification provides superior mechanical properties including exceptional strength, stiffness, and impact resistance, combined with lightweight characteristics and excellent dimensional stability. These features make modified LFT ideal for automotive structural parts, industrial machinery components, and high-performance engineering applications.
Key Features
High Mechanical Strength & Stiffness — Long fibers significantly enhance tensile strength and flexural modulus.
Lightweight — Compared to metals, LFT offers a high strength-to-weight ratio, enabling weight reduction in automotive and industrial parts.
Excellent Impact Resistance — Superior toughness with good energy absorption properties.
Thermal Stability — Can operate in elevated temperatures up to 120–150°C depending on resin matrix.
Good Chemical Resistance — Resistant to oils, fuels, and many industrial chemicals.
Good Processability — Compatible with injection molding, compression molding, and extrusion processes.
Cost Effective — Offers metal-like performance at reduced manufacturing and tooling costs.
