Global-Low-Profile-Additive-Market-Analysis-by-Type-Application

Low Profile Additives (LPAs) are specialized materials utilized primarily in composite manufacturing to enhance surface quality and dimensional stability during the curing phase. These additives are commonly integrated into thermoset resin systems, which include polyester, vinyl ester, and epoxy resins. Their primary purpose is to minimize surface shrinkage, reduce waviness, and prevent defects such as sink marks or fiber print-through. By improving the surface finish of molded parts, LPAs significantly contribute to both the functional and aesthetic performance of composite components.
