Resin impregnated, continuous glass fibers are drawn through a curing die of a specific cross section, yielding consistent quality, dimensions and mechanical properties to provide more consistent spring rates than alternate materials.
Reinforcement fiber configurations are designed to provide high flexural strength and modulus in the axial direction plus fastener bearing strength in the transverse direction. * Flexural properties are dependent on thickness.

Long Fiber Thermoplastics (LFT) for Brackets and Latches Unlock opportunities for cost savings, lightweighting, & production efficiencies Brackets and latches are traditionally made of cast aluminum or stamped steel.
Long fiber thermoplastics (LFT) combine the structural integrity of metals with the lighter weight and cost-effectiveness of thermoplastic composites.
Weight Reduction • LFT has lower density vs. metal, but still meets structural performance requirements • Lightweighting helps meet sustainability goals related to lower fuel consumption and extended vehicle range Design Flexibility • Injection molding allows for complex geometries and part consolidation • Advanced modeling and computer-aided engineering (CAE) tools for long fiber composites help validate and optimize part design APPLICATION BULLETIN COMPARING PRODUCTION COST DRIVERS Cast Metal Stamped Metal Long Fiber Composite Material typically used Aluminum Steel Various base resins based on environmental conditions Casting X Stamping X Injection Molding X Machining X Not typically needed as LFT is a one-step process Drilling X Welding X Surface Treatments X X po st -p ro ce ss pr oc es s MATERIAL CHARACTERISTICS Characteristic Long Fiber Composite Aluminum Steel Specific Gravity (g/cc) 1.03–1.71 2.76 7.8–7.9 Specific Strength (Strength-to-Weight ratio) Excellent Good Poor Stiffness Fair Good Excellent Toughness/Fatigue Excellent Fair Fair Creep Good Excellent Excellent Corrosion Resistance Excellent Good Poor Temperature Range Performance Good Excellent Excellent Cycle Time Excellent Good Poor Design Freedom (i.e., complex geometry, part consolidation) Excellent Fair Fair Raw Material Cost Poor Good Fair Total Production Cost Good Fair Fair pr od uc ti on pe rf or m an ce Avient offers a range of customizable long fiber reinforced structural material solutions and design support for your metal-to-plastic conversion projects. • Complēt™ long glass, long carbon, and hybrid fiber solutions available in a wide array of engineering polymer matrices, including PA66, PA6, ETPU, PPA, PPS, PES, PEI, PK, and PEEK • OnForce™ long glass fiber reinforced polypropylenes • Full suite of design and engineering services that include structural design and fiber orientation consultations and modeling, CAE analysis, prototyping, and more STRENGTH-TO-WEIGHT RATIO OF LFT VS METALS m eg ap as ca l gram /cubic centim eter 250 200 150 100 50 0 9.00 8.00 7.00 6.00 5.00 4.00 3.00 2.00 1.00 0.00 Zam ak 3 Stainless Steel 304 Titanium #2 Com plēt LCF40-PP Com plēt LGF60-TPU OnForce LGF50-PP Alum inum A380 M agnesium AZ91D Com plēt LCF50-PA66 Com plēt LGF60-PA66 Com plēt LCF50-TPU Specific Strength Density Metal Long Glass Fiber Long Carbon Fiber 1.844.4AVIENT www.avient.com Copyright © 2025, Avient Corporation.
