Long Glass Fiber Reinforcement Long glass fiber composites start as continuous filaments of fiber, which we melt-impregnate with thermoplastic polymer in our pultrusion process to create a high performance bond. Greater properties than short fiber/chopped glass fiber filled compounds

Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) is also known as glass reinforced polymer (GRP). Traditional GRP is composed of high strength E-glass fibers impregnated with a variety of specialized proprietary resins. Our resin chemistry is optimized for process conditions, fiber adhesion, and end-use application of the FRP.

The interface of the TPE and rigid substrate play a vital role in determining not only the bond strength, but also the type of bond-failure: i.e. cohesive (C) or adhesive (A). These include semi crystalline and amorphous polymers such as polypropylene, high impact polystyrene (HIPS), polycarbonate (PC), polystyrene (PS), acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polybutylene terephthalate (PBT), polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), styrene acrylonitrile (SAN), polyphylene oxide (PPO), polyoxymethylene (POM) and polyamide (PA). Furthermore, the material has outstanding adhesion to Ultramid B3G6 (glass reinforced polyamide 6) as demonstrated in Figure 10 and 11.

If adhesion is poor, the composite can fail. Fiber adhesion can be improved by treating or coating the fibers and by adding coupling agents to the formula. Used in plastics are solid or hollow spheres or microspheres, which may be coated with coupling agents to improve bonding between the glass and the polymer.
