Engel Fibermelt
Definition:
Polymer + long fiber =
Long Fiber Reinforced Thermoplastics;
Known as Engel Fibermelt
Advantages:
- Improvement of stiffness and impact strength
- Ductile rupture behaviour
- Improvement of creep and fatigue resistance (> 100°C)
- High dimensional stability
Requirements:
- Gentle processing with optimized plasticizing units (special screw,
independent recovery) - Flexible solution, close to standard
- Intensive research and cooperation with material suppliers
Optimized FIBERMELT-screw
IDEAL APPLICATIONS
