The present invention relates to a high melt flow thermoplastic resin
filled with long fibers, such as long glass fibers, stainless steel
fibers, carbon fibers, aramid fibers, or other like fibers, and having
high melt flow properties. The high melt flow properties of the
thermoplastic resin contribute to its ease of production, allowing for
the production of long fiber-reinforced thermoplastic compositions having
good dispersion and wet-out in the pellet and molded article, and
characterized by low levels of loose fiber in the pellet and/or compound.
Although any concentration of fibers may be present in the
fiber-reinforced thermoplastic composition, the high melt flow
thermoplastic resins are especially suitable for high concentrate long
glass fiber-reinforced thermoplastic compositions.
