LFT and GMT

Glass mat thermoplastics (GMT) are currently state-of-the-art materials for compression molding with still hugh potentials. In Europe their unique position is attacked through the use of Long fibre thermoplastic (LFT) materials which are processed through the use of extrusion compression molding. Although raw and semi-finished product producers are fighting a media battle, it will be discussed how both materials can nicely exist alongside from the viewpoint of a finished product producer.
