LFT Direct Roving : Lightweight Composite Solutions For Automotive And Aerospace

​​1. Product Introduction​​

LFT Direct Roving is an advanced long-fiber reinforced thermoplastic (LFT) material engineered for structural applications requiring exceptional strength-to-weight ratios. Combining continuous glass fibers (5–25 mm) with high-performance thermoplastics like polypropylene (PP) or nylon (PA), this product delivers superior mechanical stability, impact resistance, and thermal durability. Designed for direct molding via LFT-D (Direct Long Fiber Thermoplastic) processes, it eliminates intermediate steps, ensuring consistent fiber alignment and maximizing performance in automotive, aerospace, and industrial components.

​3. Usage Precautions​​

• ​​Storage​​: Store in dry, ventilated areas (15–30°C) away from humidity and UV exposure to prevent fiber degradation.

• ​​Temperature Limits​​: Operational range: -40°C to 130°C; avoid prolonged exposure to >150°C unless specified for high-temperature grades.

• ​​Chemical Resistance​​: Compatible with PP, PA, and PBT resins. Avoid contact with strong acids, solvents, or aromatic hydrocarbons.

• ​​Handling​​: Wear PPE (gloves, goggles) to prevent fiber irritation; use sharp tools for cutting to minimize fraying.
