Combine Long Fiber Structural Capabilities with Multi-Functional Performance to Produce More Effective Products
Do not let your creativity, or your products performance, be limited by off-the-shelf options. PlastiComp can provide you with a ready-to-mold LFT composite pellet solution that contains everything you need — including functional performance beyond reinforcement.
Built-In Lubricity
Friction and abrasion shorten product life cycles and increase cost of ownership
- Applying external lubrication adds maintenance steps and can be unsightly or cause fouling
- Internal lubrication improves the wear resistance of plastics, increasing reliability
- Eliminate noise between mated or in-motion surfaces
- Enhance aesthetics by reducing surface marring and scratching
Static Control to EMI Shielding
Controlling static and providing ESD protection boosts product safety
- Essential for fine particle and explosive vapor environments, tools and equipment in production of E&E components, or clean rooms
- Facilitate electro-static painting and plating of plastic substrates
- Replacement of metal housing can result in loss of valuable EMI shielding characteristics
- Metalized fibers provide 60+ dB shielding to maintain EMC compliance
Flame/Smoke/Toxicity Compliance
Many plastics require flame retardants to meet product safety regulations
- Prevent plastics from being a source of ignition or fuel for combustion in overheat situations
- Reduce smoke generation and smoke toxicity for enclosed environments
- UL94 compliant materials for E&E devices that will be UL Listed
- Halogen-free FR packages when environmental standards need to be met
Color & Appearance
Increase consumer appeal for products
- Employ color as part of a product branding strategy
- Make unique components easier to identify
- Eliminate secondary painting or decorating processes
- Improve color consistency and maintain maximum fiber length with a one pellet solution
- Pre-compounded color simplifies processing and results in higher LFT mechanical properties than using masterbatches
