★ Good Heat Resistance: Increases heat resistance and can be used in high-temperature environments.
★ Low Thermal Expansion: Reduces the coefficient of thermal expansion, with smaller dimensional changes as the temperature changes.
★ Good Conductivity: Enables the originally insulating polypropylene to have electrical conductivity.
★ Lightweight: Carbon Fiber Polypropylene has a low density, realizing the lightweight of products.
★ Chemical Stability: Maintains good chemical stability and is resistant to various media.
★ Easy to Process: Can be formed by common processing methods and is convenient for production.
Carbon Fiber Polypropylene Granules can be divided into the following product segments according to the carbon fiber content:
Low Carbon Fiber Content Polypropylene Granules
– Carbon Fiber Content: Generally ranging from 5% to 15%. For example, 10% carbon fiber-reinforced polypropylene granules are common like pp cf10, pp-lcf10, pp-lcf15, pp cf15.
– Performance Characteristics: Based on maintaining the original flexibility and processing properties of polypropylene, the strength and rigidity are improved to a certain extent, but the improvement range is relatively small. It has good toughness and impact resistance and can withstand a certain degree of external impact without being easily broken.
– Application Areas: Suitable for ordinary household items, toys, stationery like plastic chairs, toy shells, clips, etc. where moderate enhancement is needed.
Medium Carbon Fiber Content Polypropylene Granules
– Carbon Fiber Content: Usually between 15% and 30% like pp cf20, pp cf25 and pp cf 30.
– Performance Characteristics: 15%-30% carbon Fiber Polypropylene has good comprehensive performance. The strength, rigidity and impact resistance are significantly improved. Compared with the low carbon fiber content polypropylene granules, it can withstand greater external forces and pressures and has better dimensional stability, and is not easy to deform during long-term use.
– Application Areas: Widely used in automobile interiors (e.g., panels) and electronic appliance shells (like computer cases, TV shells).
High Carbon Fiber Content Polypropylene Granules
– Carbon Fiber Content: Above 30%. For example, 50% carbon fiber-reinforced polypropylene granules like pp-cf35, pp cf40, pp cf 45, pp cf50, pp 60cf.
– Performance Characteristics: More than 30% carbon fiber polypropylene has extremely high strength, rigidity and heat resistance, can withstand huge external forces and high-temperature environments, and also has good electrical conductivity and anti-static properties. Its mechanical properties and heat resistance are far superior to those of products with low and medium carbon fiber contents.
– Application Areas: Applied in aerospace (e.g., aircraft parts), high-end sports equipment (bicycle frames, etc.), and high-performance industrial parts (molds, transmission parts).

Carbon fiber features high strength with its tensile strength exceeding that of many traditional materials, high modulus resulting in little deformation under force, low density making it lightweight, good high-temperature resistance, chemical stability, as well as electrical and thermal conductivity. According to strength, it can be roughly divided into general-purpose types (T300 grade), high-strength types (T700 and T800 grades), and ultra-high-strength types (T1000 grade and above), each having different application focuses.

What are CF Reinforced Thermoplastic Composites?
CF Reinforced Thermoplastic Composites are materials where carbon fibers are incorporated into a thermoplastic matrix. They combine the strength and stiffness of carbon fibers with the processability and recyclability of thermoplastics. For instance, they are used in automotive parts like bumper beams.
What are the benefits of CF Reinforced Thermoplastic Composites over traditional composites?
The key benefits include faster production cycles, easier recyclability, and better impact resistance. They also offer design flexibility. An example is in the manufacturing of consumer electronics casings where complex shapes can be achieved more easily.
How are CF Reinforced Thermoplastic Composites processed?
Common processing methods include injection molding, extrusion, and compression molding. Injection molding is widely used for mass production. For example, in the production of small components for the medical industry.
What industries use CF Reinforced Thermoplastic Composites?
They are utilized in aerospace, automotive, medical, and sports equipment industries. In aerospace, they can be found in interior components. In the medical field, they might be used in prosthetics.
How does the carbon fiber content affect the properties of the composites?
Higher carbon fiber content generally leads to increased strength and stiffness but may reduce ductility. A moderate content is often balanced for specific applications. For example, a higher content might be preferred in structural parts of a race car.
What are the challenges in using CF Reinforced Thermoplastic Composites?
Challenges include higher material costs, complex processing equipment requirements, and ensuring uniform fiber dispersion. Issues with adhesion between the fibers and the matrix can also arise. An example is in achieving consistent quality in large-scale production.
