Long fiber thermoplastics (LFTs) offer benefits to design
engineers seeking a material that provides exceptional strength, yet requires
lightweight properties.
DESIGN SUPPORT
Designing your application for long fiber
thermoplastics, regardless of material familiarity,
requires an assessment of a wide array of inputs
to achieve the optimal geometry.
With
these capabilities at our disposal, we assist you with
recommending the following characteristics that
make up your customized solution:
• Resin system selection (i.e., nylon,polypropylene,
rigid thermoplastic polyurethane, etc

We’re ready
to meet all of your supply needs for engineered
polymer formulations and thermoplastic
elastomers.
• Abrasion resistance
• High performance for consumer
electronics applications
