Mechanical Properties

PA610-CF5 is engineered to provide enhanced mechanical performance with 5% carbon fiber reinforcement. It combines the benefits of improved stiffness, strength, and wear resistance while maintaining the inherent flexibility and ease of processing that makes PA610 so versatile. The addition of carbon fiber elevates its mechanical properties, making it ideal for applications where moderate mechanical performance and durability are required, without compromising on the material’s workability.

Tensile Strength: ≥ 90 MPa

Flexural Strength: ≥ 130 MPa

Impact Strength: ≥ 4.0 kJ/m²

With 5% carbon fiber, PA610-CF5 strikes an optimal balance between mechanical strength and processing ease, making it a versatile choice for moderate duty applications.

Thermal and Chemical Resistance

PA610-CF5 retains the thermal and chemical stability typical of PA610, but with enhanced properties due to the carbon fiber reinforcement. It is well suited to environments with moderately high temperatures and exposure to oils, fuels, and various chemicals.

Heat Deflection Temperature (HDT): Approx. 150°C

Long-Term Service Temperature: Up to 150°C

Chemical Resistance: Good resistance to oils, fuels, solvents, and a wide range of chemicals

PA610-CF5 is ideal for use in environments where moderate levels of thermal and chemical resistance are necessary for reliable performance.

Wear Resistance and Processing

With its 5% carbon fiber content, PA610-CF5 offers improved wear resistance, especially in applications that experience light to moderate friction. The reinforcement significantly increases durability over unreinforced PA610, yet it retains the processability of standard thermoplastics, making it easy to handle in manufacturing processes.

Wear Resistance: Moderate, superior to unreinforced PA610 in light friction conditions

Processing Methods: Injection molding, extrusion (standard tooling recommended)

While PA610-CF5 is not designed for the extreme wear conditions seen in higher fiber composites, it still offers solid wear resistance for applications that don’t require heavy duty performance.

Environmental Adaptability

PA610-CF5 is highly adaptable to environments with varying temperature and humidity, offering low moisture absorption and excellent dimensional stability. The material retains its mechanical properties even under moderate environmental changes, making it a reliable choice for indoor applications.

Water Absorption: Low

Dimensional Stability: Good, with minor expansion or contraction under environmental changes

This material is ideal for environments that experience slight fluctuations in temperature or humidity, ensuring consistent performance.

Applications

PA610-CF5 is ideal for moderate duty applications where a balance between enhanced mechanical strength, wear resistance, and processability is required:

Automotive: Light duty structural components, brackets, and housings that benefit from improved strength and wear resistance.

Industrial Manufacturing: Moderate duty parts, enclosures, and fixtures in less demanding environments that require more durability than unreinforced PA610.

Electronics: Protective housings, covers, and components where moderate impact resistance and thermal stability are necessary.

Consumer Goods: Power tool components, appliance parts, and other consumer products that need improved durability over unreinforced PA610.
