Mechanical Properties

ABS-CF40 is engineered for superior mechanical performance, featuring a 40% carbon fiber reinforcement. This substantial increase in carbon fiber content provides exceptional stiffness, strength, and wear resistance, making it ideal for applications that are exposed to extremely high mechanical loads and stress.

Tensile Strength: ≥ 200 MPa

Flexural Strength: ≥ 280 MPa

Impact Strength: ≥ 6.0 kJ/m²

With 40% carbon fiber content, ABS-CF40 offers unmatched mechanical properties, making it perfect for demanding applications that require maximum strength, durability, wear resistance, and impact protection.

Thermal and Chemical Resistance

ABS-CF40 retains the thermal and chemical stability of pure ABS, but the performance is further enhanced by the higher carbon fiber content. It excels in high temperature environments and can withstand aggressive chemical exposure, making it ideal for even more extreme conditions than ABS-CF30.

Heat Deflection Temperature (HDT): Approx. 140°C

Long Term Service Temperature: Up to 140°C

Chemical Resistance: Excellent resistance to oils, fuels, solvents, and many aggressive chemicals

ABS-CF40 thrives in the harshest thermal and chemical environments, making it ideal for industrial, automotive, and other high demand applications exposed to extreme conditions.

Wear Resistance and Processing

ABS-CF40 offers exceptional wear resistance, particularly in high friction environments. With 40% carbon fiber reinforcement, it provides even better durability than ABS-CF30 and unreinforced ABS. However, the high carbon fiber content may lead to more abrasiveness in processing equipment.

Wear Resistance: Outstanding under very high friction conditions, significantly better than unreinforced ABS and lower carbon fiber composites

Processing Methods: Injection molding, extrusion (specialized tooling may be required to address wear)

Its superior wear resistance and enhanced durability make ABS-CF40 ideal for heavy duty industrial components and applications where high friction and mechanical stress are prevalent.

Environmental Adaptability

ABS-CF40 features extremely low moisture absorption and superior dimensional stability, ensuring reliable performance in environments with fluctuating temperatures and humidity. Compared to lower carbon fiber content materials, it offers improved stability in harsh environmental conditions.

Water Absorption: Extremely low

Dimensional Stability: Excellent, with minimal expansion or contraction under environmental changes

ABS-CF40’s remarkable stability and resilience to environmental fluctuations make it ideal for use in the most challenging applications.

Applications

ABS-CF40 is designed for the most demanding applications that require top tier mechanical properties, wear resistance, and thermal stability. Common applications include:

Automotive: High performance structural components, engine parts, and housings that are exposed to extreme conditions.

Industrial Manufacturing: Heavy duty parts like electrical enclosures, mechanical brackets, and components subjected to high wear, friction, and stress.

Electronics: Durable, rugged protective covers and housings for devices requiring high impact resistance and exposure to mechanical stress.

Consumer Goods: Premium parts requiring exceptional strength, wear resistance, and thermal stability.
