Our long fiber products are produced using a pultrusion process in which continuous tows of fiber are pulled through an impregnation die (to introduce polymer and additive solutions) and then chopped to length (typically 12mm) in a pelletizer.   In contrast, short fiber reinforced solutions are produced by introducing pre-chopped fibers (typically 1mm or less) into an extruder where the fibers are mixed with polymer and other additives.  After a pyrolysis study, in which we burn away the polymer to study the remaining fiber, you can see how the structural skeleton of the long fiber part holds its shape and the short fiber part collapses on itself.
