High-strength thermoplastics for bicycle components: How compounders/application developers are helping to further increase the scope for innovation for designers.
Cycle chic, e-bike boom, bike culture, low-tech, high-tech, bike highways - the bike is in the midst of its reinvention; in the midst of a transformation from a mere means of transportation and sports equipment to an expression of a serene, sustainable, individual attitude to life. More and more people around the world are attaching the same emotional significance to the bicycle as they once did to the car. This makes the bicycle one of the main players in the mobility megatrend. In the midst of this megatrend are also the people who create one of the technological foundations for bicycle designers and their innovative design ideas for bicycle components of all kinds: the plastics compounders or application developers who ensure the composition and thus the performance of the required materials.

LUVOCOM® XCF: What is behind the high-performance compound?
In XCF, X stands for Extra. Behind this is the extra carbon fiber technology from the LEHVOSS high-performance compounds product line. With an emphasis on extra: in terms of material properties, it stands for extra stiff, extra strong and extra tough. In terms of customer requirements, it stands for extra-flexible, extra-modifiable and extra-customizable. Provided that one has mastered the entire spectrum of development and compounding: Then nothing stands in the way of improving properties simultaneously, along the three dimensions without sacrificing performance.
