LFT-PP has excellent comprehensive properties and is mainly used in the automotive field

LFT-PP is long glass fiber reinforced PP resin. It has the characteristics of light weight, high strength, impact resistance, fatigue resistance, low creep performance, excellent mechanical properties, short molding cycle, etc. It is mainly used in applications that require higher mechanical properties and dimensional stability. High structural parts, such as automobiles, home appliances, and electronic and electrical fields.

Among them, in the automotive field, LFT-PP is mainly used to produce front-end frames, body door panel modules, instrument panel frames, cooling fans and frames, battery brackets, etc.; in the home appliance field, LFT-PP can be used to produce washing machine drums and washing machine tripod brackets. , air conditioning fans, etc.; in other fields, LFT-PP can be used to make power tool casings, water pump casings and impellers, etc.

From the perspective of LFT-PP demand structure, the automotive industry is the main application field of LFT-PP, and the demand for LFT-PP in this field accounts for more than 80% of its total demand. On the one hand, LFT-PP has the advantages of low density, high specific strength, high specific modulus, good dimensional stability, and easy recycling. It can make up for the shortcomings of short glass fiber materials and achieve weight reduction in automobiles. On the other hand, as an automotive module carrier material, LFT-PP can effectively improve the rigidity, impact strength, creep resistance and dimensional stability of products, reduce automotive module manufacturing costs, and shorten the molding cycle. At this stage, car companies represented by Volkswagen, Ford, Changan Eado, Chery, etc. have implemented LFT-PP applications in automotive front-end modules.

From the perspective of demand area, according to the “China LFT-PP Industry Market In-depth Research and Development Prospects Forecast Report 2023-2028” released by the Industrial Research Center It shows that the demand for LFT-PP is mainly concentrated in East China, South China, and North China, where the automobile industry has a large scale of development and the automobile industry chain is relatively complete, especially in the Yangtze River Delta, Pearl River Delta, and the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region. A large number of automobiles and automobiles Parts companies invest and set up factories here, and the demand for LFT-PP is large.

From the perspective of demand changes, LFT-PP has the characteristics of high rigidity, high toughness, high heat resistance and good molding processability. It also has the durability and reliability required as a structural part, and is suitable for the production of various communications The outer box of the project. Facing the test of different climatic conditions such as sun, rain, severe cold, etc., LFT-PP can better meet the long-term use requirements, and has been gradually applied in the field of 5G communication base stations in recent years. In the future, with the development of the 5G industry, the application scale of LFT-PP in the 5G field will expand.

Industry analysts said that compared with short glass fiber reinforced polypropylene, LFT-PP has better performance in strength, stiffness, warpage, It has more advantages in fatigue resistance, notched impact strength and dimensional stability, and can be used as a lightweight automotive material to replace short glass fiber reinforced nylon or metal materials. Under the trend of automobile lightweighting, improving the strength of LFT-PP materials while reducing the material weight has become an important development requirement for LFT-PP in the automotive field. Therefore, the high-strength, low-density LFT-PP products required for automobile lightweighting are one of the most potential LFT-PP varieties.
