Thermoplastics structural
Strengthening glass and carbon fibers that give any matrix of thermoplastic, remarkably improving the mechanical performance of plastics is known. These reinforcements allowed design and use pieces that support great efforts both static and dynamic. Structural thermoplastics of LVL give engineers and project managers the opportunity of replacing metals with the advantages that give plastics with regard to flexibility of design and ease of the process of transformation by injection.
LVL today manufactures structural compounds based on thermoplastics technicians more common in the market in order to offer its customers the best solution to any need: PP, PA6, PA66, PBT, PPS, PPA and PEEK.
Thanks to the glass and fibers of carbon of high resistance, LVL can offer references with elastic upper module to 20GPa and rupture of 230MPA resistance.
The dimensional stability, rigidity and mechanical performance in extreme conditions and high temperatures can be obtained by selecting the most suitable compound between the numerous references to load up to 60% of glass fibre and 50% of carbon fiber.
LVL formulations also guarantee excellent resistance to fatigue and creep (creep), allowing engineers to create pieces that support cyclic efforts and variable loads over time.
In addition LVL has self-extinguishing structural specialties, autolubricadas, stabilized heat, resistant to rays UV etc.
Even the surface appearance of the parts with lots of loads of reinforcement is no longer a problem. LVL has developed the Latigloss family: structural polyamides with aspect and brilliant, polished and homogeneous surface finish for aesthetic pieces and load up to 60 per cent of fiberglass.
Key properties:
• Better surface appearance than other similar products.
• Excellent mechanical properties of resistance to fatigue and creep for structural applications
• Low moisture absorption.
• Good relationship precio-prestaciones.
• Injection tools and common conditions.
Applications:
• Tools.
• Sport and leisure.
• Car.
• Mechanics.
• Furniture and design.
