Featured Long Fiber Reinforced Thermoplastics Grades

Celstran® LFRT
Celstran® long fiber reinforced thermoplastics (LFRT) unite long fiber reinforcements with advanced thermoplastic resins for a combination of mechanical properties, impact, creep resistance and low warpage. Incorporated fibers can be glass, carbon, aramid and stainless steels. Nearly all types of polymers are suitable as matrix material.

Compel® LFRT
Compel® long fiber reinforced thermoplastic (LFRT) uses a process that thoroughly wets out the glass fibers to deliver optimal reinforcement to the plastic matrix, unlike conventional short-fiber reinforced materials. The longer fibers mechanically interact to form an internal glass fiber “skeleton” that limits anisotropic shrinkage and greatly reduces warpage.

Celstran® CFR-TP
Celstran® CFR-TP product series encompasses a variety of continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastics (CFR-TP). Also referred to as long fiber reinforced thermoplastics, these products are available in continuous sheet form as roll goods. With local reinforcements continuous fiber reinforced composites can provide higher levels of stiffness, strength, and toughness compared to other reinforced thermoset and thermoplastic materials. Celstran® CFR-TP uses a patented process to achieve high impregnation quality without fiber damage. Every single filament of the reinforcement fibers is wetted intensively in the manufacturing process of thermoplastics from Celanese.
