The Long (and Short) of LFI

Romeo RIM was the first company to bring long fiber injection (LFI) technology to North America back in 1999. Since then, we’ve been producing large fiber glass-reinforced polyurethane (PUR) products for customers all around the world. You’ve probably seen LFI handiwork and not even realized it:  truck fenders, agricultural tractor cabs and hoods, and interior

Prepping for More Innovation in 2017 and Beyond

The birth of composites heralded a new age in manufacturing, and long fiber injection molding — known as LFI — is taking composites to the next level in applications requiring reduction in mass and weight, such as in transportation, agriculture, and heavy trucks. LFI produces sought-after high-performing parts with superior stiffness and strength, and such reductions mean

Commonly Used Composites and Their Benefits for FRP, RTM, SMC, and LFI

There are a variety of common composites out there when it comes to automobiles and other forms of transportation. FRP, RTM, SMC, and LFI are some of the most notable ones. Each has its own unique set of benefits, making it relevant and valid to today’s industry needs and standards. Below is a quick glance

What are the Benefits of Long Fiber Composites?

Long fiber composites have a number of properties with unique capabilities that translate into desirable product benefits. Due to the long fiber material flexibility offered for users, long fiber technology is very popular in the auto, agriculture, heavy truck, consumer goods, and mass transit industries. Users have the option to use a ready-made compound or

In-Mold Painting for Long-Fiber; Plastic Technology

For plastic technology in terms of the design of automobile/machinery parts, in-mold painting for long-fiber offers a variety of advantages over methods that were previously available. In-mold painting for long-fiber is a fairly newly available in-mold process for painting that makes the manufacture of polyurethane composite components of automobile parts and agricultural machinery pieces possible.

What Types of Businesses Can Benefit Most From Long Fiber Injection?

Each and every business is looking for anything and everything they can do to cut costs and time while maintaining or even improving quality and efficiency. But that is much easier said than done. Or is it? Long fiber technology is a structural reaction injection molding process (or SRIM) that takes one step which makes the process more automatic. Question

The Advantages of Long Fiber Technology

Whether you’re in the trucking industry hauling huge loads across long distances, or a farmer running a tractor through miles of crop fields, you know that in your line of work you need to run an extremely lean operation to stay profitable. Running a business is often like trying to put together a massive puzzle
