RTP develops glass fiber reinforced PLA bio-based composites

Thermoplastics composites company RTP claims that the industry’s first Glass Fiber-reinforced polylactic acid (PLA) composite line has been commercialized. This product overcomes the limitations of non-modified PLA and has greater strength, stiffness and thermal properties. .

Bio-based polymer PLA is a sustainable alternative to traditional hydrocarbon-based thermoplastics, such as polyesters, polyolefins and high-impact polystyrene.

“Our new glass-fiber-reinforced PLA composites have improved performance in terms of strength and temperature, and they have a wider range of uses,” said Will Taber, business manager at RTP's headquarters.

The glass fiber content in the reinforced PLA accounts for 10-40%, and it can meet the special requirements of individual customers in home appliances, automobiles, consumer products, electrical appliances and electronic products, and the construction market.

"The mechanical properties of PLA Thermoplastic Composites produced by RTP meet or exceed many of the traditional plastics," Taber said.

PC plastic,full name Polycarbonate.

PC plastic is a kind of excellent comprehensive performance engineering plastics.It has excellent physical, mechanical, electrical, and thermal properties,so it's known as the "king of the transparent plastic'

 

Classification:

Anti - static PC SHEET, conductive PC SHEET,fireproof PC SHEET,PC fiber - resistant, PC GF SHEET, PC+ABS SHEET,anti-ultraviolet ray resistance PC, food grade PC, anti - chemical PC.

 

Advantages:

1,Light weight

2,Impact resistance

3,Excellent physical, mechanical, electrical and thermal properties

4,Ultraviolet resistance

 

Disadvantages:

Polycarbonate is not resistant to ultraviolet light, no resistance to alkali, resistance to hydrolysis stability is not high, is the main performance defect is sensitive to the gap, resistance to organic chemistry, scratch resistance is poorer, long-term exposure to ultraviolet light yellow, are vulnerable to the erosion of some organic solvents.

 

Applications:

1. Dust-free room spacer

2. Equipment shield and test fixtures;

3. Commercial Building Lighting;

4. Soundproof walls;

5. Greenhouse;

6. Components for medical and pharmaceutical devices;

7. Face shields;

8. Skylights, etc

 

Modified use:

The purpose of the modified PC Plastic is to toughen, improve the processing performance, reduce the residual deformation, and increase the flame retardancy, etc.

PC/ABS can improve bending modulus, heat resistance and plating performance.

PC/PET and PBT can improve drug resistance and solvent resistance.

PC/PMMA added plexiglass to enhance the appearance of pearlescent color.

PC/PA and HIPS can improve impact toughness and surface finish.

PC/HDPE can improve water resistance, aging resistance, weather resistance and LDPE.

The PC  Plastic USES fiberglass or carbon fiber to enhance modification and improve mechanical strength.

The flame retardant grade  PC  Plastic  can be made with bromine flame retardant and antimony trioxide.

Other and polysulfone, aromatic polycarbonate, polyvinyl formaldehyde, polypropylene, polystyrene can be modified to achieve the balance between economy and performance.


 

Combustion characteristics: 

Combustion condition: easy, softening foaming

Flame status: small amount of black smoke

After the fire: out of the fire

Bouquet: no special taste

 

Specification: the thickness of PC  Plastic sheet material can be produced from 0.3mm to 1.9mm, the normal width is 600mm, the width cannot exceed 1200mm, the length is not limited.
The thickness of plate can be produced from 2mm to 180mm, the usual specification of 2-10mm is 1000mm* 2000mm, and the commonly used specification of 10-180mm is 600*1200 mm.  PC Plastic sheet can also be customized according to requirements, and the width cannot exceed 1200mm, and the length is not limited.and The diameter of the PC Plastic rod can be produced from 2mm to 250mm, the length is 1 meter, and it can be ordered to be more than 3 meters in length.

Color: Black and clear, can also be made another color, and the color order is 500KG.


Modified varieties:PC Plastic can be added to the glass fiber, copper powder, and molybdenum disulfide enhancement plate according to customer's requirements.
Add antistatic agent to the permanent plate, the volume resistance value of 10 to the 6 to 9 power.
Add flame retardant to the flame retardant board from UL 94v-0 to HB combustion grade, and other modification requirements are required to customize various additional properties according to the actual use of the customer.

Product certification: most environmental certification reports and safety reports for raw materials, such as SGS report, CTI report, UL report, MSDS safety information, etc.
