The use of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites is becoming increasingly commonplace across a wide range of industries and applications. However, the combinations of materials that make up the composites themselves can be as varied as the end-uses. Thermoplastics used in making composites range from polypropylene (PP), nylon (PA) and polycarbonate (PC) to polyester, polyphenylene sulfide (PPS), and polyetheretherketone (PEEK).

This bulletin will focus specifically on explaining the difference between die casting and injection molding, and highlight the differences in using long fiber reinforced thermoplastics (LFTs) versus aluminum. This method is used for various polymers, including long fiber reinforced thermoplastics (LFRT or LFT). LFTs use reinforcement fibers (e.g., glass or carbon) that are in parallel alignment and of uniform length (typically 12 mm), offering metal replacement performance.

Use overlapping butt joints when installing panels into corners. 7. Panels can be finished by covering with drywall, paneling, painting, or wall covering. Painting or wall covering will require the use of a suitable primer.

Carbon black is mainly used as a reinforcing filler in tires and other rubber products. In plastics, paints, and inks carbon black is used as a color pigment. USES AND APPLICATIONS Colored printing inks, non-impact printing, coatings, paints and lacquers, plastics, spinning fibers, specials applications; pigment, conductivity, reaction media, UV-filters.

Whether in solid or liquid form, our fiber concentrates are developed for use in the more sustainable process of spin-dyeing, or dope-dyeing, which requires no water and less energy than other dyeing methods. Our extensive portfolio of specialty colorants helps producers of synthetic fibers and nonwovens achieve brilliant colors and optimal dyeing of polyester, polypropylene and polyamide fibers. Additives can also be used to enhance fiber properties and to improve processing during fiber production.
