Polystruct (Long Fibre Thermoplastic – LFT) offers the highest degree of design freedom compared to fibre length available from reinforced polymeric materials. Polytruct combines the benefits of Injection Moulding (and other rapid manufacturing processes) with the increase performance inherent with very long glass fibres. Polystruct can be used in existing tooling for incremental improvement of existing products. However, Duromer recommends a ground up design approach with Polystruct to deliver maximised performance. Beginning with an understanding of the performance requirements of product in question coupled with the operating environment, Duromer can recommend a suitable grade of Polystruct. We will consider polymer systems, choice of reinforcement and performance additives. Duromer offers intelligent materials choice combined with an intelligent design process.
