Components requiring high strength, stiffness, impact resistance, or extreme temperature tolerance: Historically, concerns about plastics centered on their structural integrity and ability to withstand temperature fluctuations without melting, warping, or cracking.
The advanced polymer technology behind LFT allows thermoplastics to retain their strength and stiffness from sub-freezing temperatures up to nearly 400° F (200° C).
