Engineering Check: Molding outdoor electronics covers with 40% Long Glass Fiber.
This gray radar detector cover faces a tough environment—constant UV exposure, temperature swings, and road vibrations. A standard short-fiber or unfilled plastic just won't hold up long-term.
That is why it’s molded using our LFT-G® PP/PA-NG04V compound (40% Long Glass Fiber reinforced with specialized UV stabilizers).
Why this specific spec?
The 40% LGF internal skeleton ensures the thin-walled housing remains dimensionally stable under thermal stress (no warping).
The custom UV formulation prevents the gray plastic from fading or turning brittle after years in the sun.
Excellent drop and impact resistance to protect the sensitive electronics inside.
If you are designing outdoor sensor enclosures or automotive housings that need metal-like stiffness without the weight, let's look at the data sheet.
