LUVOCOM® LFT | Long Fiber Thermoplastics
LUVOCOM® LFT is a high-performing product line of structural materials. LFT stands for long fiber reinforced thermoplastics and are the logical complement to short fiber materials. They expand the range of applications for plastic-based structural materials. With this, the LEHVOSS Group rounds off the product portfolio and presents itself as a full-range supplier in the demanding thermoplastic environment.
LFTs performance spectrum begins where other materials - such as short-fiber-reinforced thermoplastics or metals like steel, aluminum or magnesium alloys - simply reach their performance limits. This is where LFT strength clearly come into play in a wide variety of components:
- High strength and stiffness
- Low creep tendency
- Better surface quality
- Lower shrinkage and thus less warpage and higher dimensional stability
- Extremely high impact strength/energy absorption (especially also in the low-temperature range)
You are also welcome to ask us about special solutions, e.g. colored materials, other cutting lengths and special polymers.
LUVOCOM® LFT 14 Product Line | Made with Bio-based PA
LUVOCOM LFT 14-50542 CF10 NT is the first product of a completely new PA-LCF generation that is based on PA410, provided by Royal DSM under the tradename EcoPaXX®. This base polymer shows, beside a reduced carbon footprint, unique differentiating properties compared to PA66, PA610, PA612, PA12 and others:
- Best in class mechanical performance
- Moisture uptake is significantly lower compared to PA6 and PA66
- Lower density compared to PA66
- Better chemical resistance
- Enables high surface quality
- Reduced carbon footprint (based on polymer)
- Easy to mold
LEHVOSS Group, as a globally leading company in carbon fiber compounds, combined the PA410 properties with long carbon fibers. This provides a completely new dimension of long fiber reinforced PA. The combination of compounding know-how, PA410 and specifically selected carbon fibers results in this completely new PA-LCF Generation! Within this product line compounds with glass fibers are available as well.
