Making the Switch from Metal to Plastic Using Long Fiber Thermoplastics
Long fiber thermoplastics (LFT), also known as long fiber reinforced thermoplastics (LFRT), are revolutionizing the industry by replacing metal and other underperforming polymers.
Below are two real-world examples to demonstrate the benefits of converting to long fiber composites in very practical terms.

CRTM™ (continuous resin transfer molding) panels are high quality composite sandwich panels with tailored, multi-axial fiber reinforcements, high-fiber volume contents and very low void content.
Laminate skin face-sheets are also available with continuous fiberglass and/or carbon fiber reinforced polyester, vinyl ester and epoxy or custom resins.
