Tensile Strength: ≥ 60 MPa
Flexural Strength: ≥ 90 MPa
Impact Strength: ≥ 3.5 kJ/m²
With 10% low carbon fiber content, ABS-LCF10 delivers improved mechanical properties, offering a balance between strength, durability, and impact resistance for general high performance applications.
Thermal and Chemical Resistance
ABS-LCF10 retains the excellent thermal and chemical stability of pure ABS, with slight enhancements due to the low carbon fiber content. It performs reliably in environments with moderate temperatures and chemical exposure.
Heat Deflection Temperature (HDT): Approx. 105°C
Long-Term Service Temperature: Up to 105°C
Chemical Resistance: Good resistance to oils, fuels, solvents, and many common chemicals
ABS-LCF10 performs well in typical thermal and chemical environments, making it suitable for industrial, automotive, and consumer applications with moderate environmental demands.
Wear Resistance and Processing
ABS-LCF10 offers improved wear resistance compared to unreinforced ABS, particularly in moderate friction environments. The low carbon fiber content enhances durability while maintaining good processability with standard thermoplastic methods.
Wear Resistance: Improved under moderate friction conditions compared to unreinforced ABS
Processing Methods: Injection molding, extrusion (standard tooling is generally sufficient)
Its balanced wear resistance and ease of processing make ABS-LCF10 ideal for medium duty industrial components where wear and mechanical stress are factors.
Environmental Adaptability
ABS-LCF10 features low moisture absorption and good dimensional stability, ensuring reliable performance in environments with fluctuating temperatures and humidity. It offers better stability than unreinforced ABS, though not as extreme as high carbon fiber composites.
Water Absorption: Low
Dimensional Stability: Good, with reduced expansion or contraction under environmental changes
ABS-LCF10 provides stable performance in diverse environmental conditions, suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications.
Applications
ABS-LCF10 is designed for applications that require enhanced mechanical properties, moderate wear resistance, and thermal stability. Common applications include:
Automotive: Trim components, interior brackets, and housings exposed to moderate mechanical stress.
Industrial Manufacturing: Medium duty parts such as enclosures, fixtures, and support brackets.
Electronics: Protective covers and housings for devices with moderate mechanical and thermal requirements.
Consumer Goods: Durable parts requiring improved strength and wear resistance, such as tool housings and appliance components.

Strength between ABS and ABS-LCF
ABS-LCF (Low Carbon Fiber Reinforced ABS) offers a noticeable strength improvement over standard ABS. The addition of low carbon fiber content enhances ABS's tensile strength, impact resistance, and rigidity, making it more suitable for moderate-load and demanding environments. ABS-LCF also provides better flexural strength and heat resistance compared to standard ABS, making it ideal for applications requiring improved strength and durability without compromising processability.
