Mechanical Properties
ABS-LCF60 is engineered for exceptional mechanical performance with 60% low carbon fiber reinforcement. The higher carbon fiber content significantly improves stiffness, strength, and wear resistance compared to both unreinforced ABS and composites with lower carbon fiber content. This makes it highly suitable for applications subjected to extreme mechanical loads and stress conditions.
Tensile Strength: ≥ 210 MPa
Flexural Strength: ≥ 320 MPa
Impact Strength: ≥ 6.5 kJ/m²
With 60% carbon fiber content, ABS-LCF60 offers outstanding mechanical properties, delivering a superior balance of strength, durability, and impact resistance for the most demanding, high performance applications.
Thermal and Chemical Resistance
ABS-LCF60 retains the thermal and chemical stability of pure ABS, with significant improvements due to the higher carbon fiber content. It performs reliably in high temperature environments and under moderate to high chemical exposure.
Heat Deflection Temperature (HDT): Approx. 155°C
Long-Term Service Temperature: Up to 155°C
Chemical Resistance: Excellent resistance to oils, fuels, solvents, and many common chemicals
ABS-LCF60 is highly effective in industrial, automotive, and consumer applications requiring superior thermal and chemical resistance.
Wear Resistance and Processing
ABS-LCF60 offers exceptional wear resistance, particularly in high friction environments. The increased carbon fiber content enhances durability while maintaining processability with standard thermoplastic methods. However, the abrasive nature of carbon fibers may lead to increased tooling wear.
Wear Resistance: Drastically improved under high friction conditions compared to unreinforced ABS
Processing Methods: Injection molding, extrusion (reinforced tooling strongly recommended for extended use)
Its superior wear resistance and mechanical strength make ABS-LCF60 ideal for heavy duty industrial components where durability and resistance to mechanical stress are critical.
Environmental Adaptability
ABS-LCF60 features ultra low moisture absorption and excellent dimensional stability, ensuring consistent performance in environments with fluctuating temperatures and humidity. It offers enhanced environmental stability compared to both unreinforced ABS and composites with lower carbon fiber content.
Water Absorption: Extremely low
Dimensional Stability: Outstanding, with minimal expansion or contraction under environmental changes
ABS-LCF60 ensures reliable performance in both indoor and outdoor conditions, making it ideal for applications exposed to harsh environments.
Applications
ABS-LCF60 is designed for the most demanding applications that require exceptional mechanical strength, wear resistance, and thermal stability:
Automotive: High stress structural components, engine covers, brackets, and housings exposed to extreme mechanical loads and elevated temperatures
Industrial Manufacturing: Ultra durable parts such as enclosures, fixtures, gears, and support brackets in severe wear environments
Electronics: Protective housings and covers for devices that require maximum impact resistance and thermal stability
Consumer Goods: High performance products such as power tool casings, appliance components, and rugged sports equipment

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.
