Could your Direct Long Fiber Thermoplastic (DLFT) molded parts benefit from additional strength in critical areas? Time to send reinforcements! 💪 Our Polystrand Continuous Fiber Reinforced Thermoplastic (CFRTP) composites can help fill the gaps. What is it? DLFT is a manufacturing process used to produce large, fiber-reinforced thermoplastic parts. By blending long fiber reinforcements with thermoplastic resin, this process creates a moldable material ideal for applications such as automotive components, large panels, and structural parts. How does it work? The DLFT process involves compression molding a mixture of thermoplastic resins, performance additives, and chopped reinforcements. This prepreg material is placed into a mold and cooled under pressure, creating robust and durable parts. The incorporation of Polystrand CFRTP as selective reinforcement within the molding process provides additional strength exactly where it's needed, enhancing the overall performance of the DLFT part.
