Formulations are available with varying percentages
of long glass fiber, long carbon fiber, or hybrid
combinations to meet your structural requirements.

nylon 6/6 long glass fiber
composite performed
similarly to a specialty
PA 6/12 material at time
intervals equivalent to
short-term water exposure
and noticeably better than a
standard PA 6/6 formulation.
LONG GLASS FIBER SURFACE
AESTHETICS
Good surface cosmetics with glass fiber
reinforced nylons are difficult to obtain
without high mold temperatures that
lengthen cycle times.

force
• Reduces physical trials
• Optimizes tool design and production processes
KEY APPLICATIONS
• Components made from polypropylene (PP),
talcum filled, and glass fiber filled PP with a
minimum part thickness of 2mm
• Automotive structural parts e.g., door panels,
dashboard carriers
• Consumer goods e.g., interior fridge parts,
transport boxes and composters, vacuum
cleaner base panels
