30% Long Glass Fiber Reinforced PU is a subcategory of Polyurethane. The additative is added by weight during the manufacturing process. Its compressive strength ranges from 24600 to 25700 MPa. Its Izod Impact strength ranges from 6.2 to 7.5 J/cm. Its molding pressure ranges from 10 to 20 MPa.

Polyurethane, also known as PU, is a thermoplastic or thermoset, (typically reinforced), polyadduct. Common trade names are Estane and Pellanthane. thermoplastic It has high impact resistance, dielectric strength, chemical resistance, and abrasion resistance. It can be made into films, solid moldings, or flexible foams. However, it becomes brittle with prolonged outdoor exposure. It is often used in automotive structural members, computer housings, furniture, and packaging foams.
