DLF Composites: What you need to know

by:Greene Tweed

Compression Molded Discontinuous Long Fiber (DLF) Thermoplastic Composites are fast displacing metals in aircrafts. Typically, DLF is used in applications where injection molding lacks sufficient performance and where use of traditional continuous fiber composite materials is impractical or impossible due to the complex component geometry.

Watch the video to learn more about what makes them the ideal cost-effective solution for complex metal parts replacement.
