Chopped are used as strengthening in molded and extruded composition for thermoset and thermoplastic polymers in order to manufacture parts with electrical , mechanical and chemical resistance in transportation, household appliances, , machining, farm equipment , construction and electrical industries .
The fibers added to the resin increase cohesion, tensile strength and chemical resistance to destructive agents and increase softness. The size of these fibers is usually 2 to 25 mm
They are qualified to use in electrical, automotive , aerospace , military industries.
External body panels (fenders, hoods, …) Car doors, front and back bumpers, floor bars, load boxes and tool panels, electrical components and …
