Demand for long-fiber-reinforced thermoplastics (LFRT) based on nylon, polypropylene and other materials is estimated to be robust, as the material are increasingly being used for metal replacement in a variety of industries.
RTP Co. is expanding capacity for LFRT in China. 2 LFRT production lines will be installed by the end of the year at RTP's plant in Suzhou, China. RTP also plans to launch a new line of compounds with improved electrical properties.
RTP has added new capacity at Indianapolis and Beaune (France), and has increased LFRT capacity in Winona by 10-20% through a debottlenecking.
