Below are two real-world examples to demonstrate the benefits of converting to long fiber composites in very practical terms. Offered long glass fiber thermoplastic with 3x the strength of incumbent short fiber material without a need for retooling Facilitated lightweighting with a 50% long glass fiber PA66 thermoplastic that matched the performance of the incumbent metal part

Strategically positioned unidirectional tape inserts overmolded with Complēt™ long glass fiber reinforced nylon composite provide fatigue endurance to allow part reduction for office chair Advanced Mobility Composite Structures Long glass fiber reinforced engineering resins with enhanced mechanical properties that obtain metal- like structural capabilities.

Glass fibers are commonly added to nylon, polypropylene and other polymers to make glass-fiber reinforced plastic (GFRP) that is stiffer and stronger than unfilled polymer. Combining fiber types, such as long-glass and long-carbon fibers, or combining fibers with minerals, such as talc, can optimize the cost and physical properties of your composite. Molding with Long-Fiber Composites To preserve the fiber size, use long-fiber compound pellets instead of standard pellets.
