Because an LGF’s advantage comes from its longer length, it is important to avoid breaking the fiber during processing. Use an extruder feed throat that is 2 feet 6 inches long or longer to avoid bridging, and use general purpose metering screws (not mixing screws) with deep flights. Also, avoid allowing metallic filler to sit in the barrel at high temperatures for long periods of time—this could degrade the base resin.
