Xiamen Baekeland High Strength Modified LGF (Long Glass Fiber Thermoplastic) for Automotive Parts, Appliances & Industrial Equipment
Xiamen Baekeland Modified LGF (Long Glass Fiber Reinforced Thermoplastic) is a high-performance engineering material made by compounding long glass fibers (6–25mm) with thermoplastic resins such as PP, PA6, PA66, PBT, etc. Compared to short fiber composites, LGF provides superior tensile strength, dimensional stability, impact resistance, and fatigue performance, making it ideal for structural applications in automotive components, home appliances, power tools, and industrial machinery.
Key Features
✅ High Strength & Stiffness – Long fibers deliver outstanding mechanical reinforcement.
✅ Dimensional Stability – Low warpage, excellent shape retention under thermal cycling.
✅ Superior Impact & Fatigue Resistance – Excellent for parts under long-term stress.
✅ Good Processability – Compatible with injection molding and extrusion.
✅ Corrosion & Chemical Resistance – Ideal for under-hood or exposed components.
✅ Lightweight – Enables metal replacement for weight reduction.
