It is favored because of its lightweight and high temperature resistance properties. In the vast sky and the vast universe, PPS LCF50 can provide stable performance support for aircraft and satellites under extreme environmental conditions. Its lightweight characteristic helps to reduce the weight of aircraft and improve fuel efficiency; while its high temperature resistance performance can ensure that the structural parts of aircraft and satellites can still maintain good performance in high temperature environments.
– Electronic and electrical field: In the electronic and electrical field, PPS-LCF50 is suitable for electronic device casings, electrical insulation parts, etc. With its good electrical insulation performance and excellent high temperature resistance characteristics, it provides reliable protection for the safe operation of electronic equipment. Inside high-temperature electronic devices, the electronic device casing made of LCF50-PPS can effectively protect electronic components and prevent overheating and short circuits. In electrical insulation parts, the excellent electrical insulation performance of PPS LCF50 can ensure the safe operation of electrical equipment and prevent leakage and interference.
– Industrial equipment field: In the field of industrial equipment, LCF50-PPS is used to manufacture high-load mechanical parts and gears and is widely concerned because of its strong wear resistance. In industrial production, high-load mechanical parts and gears need to have extremely high wear resistance and strength, and PPS LCF50 just meets these requirements. It can maintain good performance for a long time in a high-load working environment and provide strong support for the efficient operation of industrial equipment.
At the beginning of this year, Carbon (Xiamen) New Material successfully applied LCF50-PPS to the engine intake manifold of a high-end sports car. This intake manifold faces many severe challenges and needs to withstand the tests of high temperature, high pressure and chemical corrosion. The high temperature resistance and high strength of PPS LCF50 can just meet these harsh requirements.
Specifically, when the engine is working, the temperature is as high as 250°C. Traditional materials are often difficult to be qualified in such a high temperature environment, but PPS LCF50 performs extremely stably in this environment. During the use of the intake manifold, LCF50-PPS not only maintains good structural strength but also effectively reduces the intake air temperature, thereby significantly improving the overall performance of the engine.
According to detailed test data, the high temperature tolerance of this material has extended the service life of the intake manifold by 30%. This means that the intake manifold made of PPS-LCF50 can maintain good performance for a longer time, reducing engine failures caused by damage to the intake manifold and improving the reliability and durability of sports cars. At the same time, PPS LCF50% also reduces heat loss by 15%. This advantage not only improves the thermal efficiency of the engine, reduces fuel consumption, but also reduces thermal pollution to the environment.
These advantages not only greatly improve the performance of sports cars but also reduce maintenance costs, bringing significant economic benefits to manufacturers. Therefore, the PPS+LCF50 composite material of Carbon (Xiamen) New Material has won wide recognition and praise in the industry and has become a crucial part of high-end car manufacturing.
