3. Long-fibre TP compounds and sheets (LFT and TRE)

3.1 Existing products

It is now possible to define three products divided into two families:

families of reinforced thermoplastic stampable sheets (TRE) ;
and the family of long-fibre compounds (LFT), i.e. DLFT (direct LFT) and GLFT (LFT granules).

These are sheets of thermoplastic resins reinforced with glass fibers in the form of mats. The cutting length of the glass strands is generally...
