Gel migration is measured using a quantitative internal method
* 6151 can be supplied with UV protection
* Values concluded from the simulation of materials rheological data and modelling standard extrusion tooling
Pressure: can affect extruder performance, higher pressure gives a lower output at the same rpm
Shear rate: has a relation with self-cleaning of the walls and mixing conditions
Stress: can affect the surface of the product, less stress gives a better surface aspect

Weight Reduction
• LFT has lower density vs. metal, but still meets
structural performance requirements
• Lightweighting helps meet sustainability goals
related to lower fuel consumption and extended
vehicle range
Design Flexibility
• Injection molding allows for complex geometries
and part consolidation
• Advanced modeling and computer-aided
engineering (CAE) tools for long fiber composites
help validate and optimize part design
