Discover how to boost impact resistance, amp up aesthetics, inject comfort, or revolutionize a standard design

Our long fiber products are produced using a pultrusion process in which continuous tows of fiber are pulled through an impregnation die (to introduce polymer and additive solutions) and then chopped to length (typically 12mm) in a pelletizer.   After a pyrolysis study, in which we burn away the polymer to study the remaining fiber, you can see how the structural skeleton of the long fiber part holds its shape and the short fiber part collapses on itself.   Learn about the many LFT capabilities and how they translate into desirable product benefits.
