Long Carbon Fiber Reinforcement
Increased stiffness improves load-carrying ability and allows for designing with thinner wall sections, ultimately further decreasing material use and application weight.
Explore why metal is used today and why design engineers are considering changes and LFT alternatives.

At a high level, long fiber and short fiber reinforced solutions vary simply as that – fiber length within the pellets.
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.
Since fiber in long fiber composites is continuous throughout the length of each cut pellet, long fiber materials have a higher fiber aspect ratio than short fiber filled plastics.

Available in a wide range of customizable colors,
these impact-modified nylon formulations
eliminate secondary painting processes—unlike
traditional materials such as painted plastics or
metals—providing the added manufacturing and
sustainability benefits of reducing energy use and
removing VOC emissions.

|A team of engineers at this firm was looking
for a way to reduce the manufacturing cost
of its line of solar-powered lights made using
painted metal.
Based on the requirements provided, we
recommended Geon™ M5705, a high flow
vinyl molding material for outdoor use.
Using Geon M5705
material for these seven colors will save an
additional $200,000 per year.
