High-performance thermoplastic composite material – PA12 LCF20

PA12, also known as polyamide 12 or nylon 12, is a semicrystalline-crystalline thermoplastic material. The basic raw material for its polymerization is butadiene.

LCF refers to Long Carbon Fiber, indicating that this material contains 30% long carbon fibers, thus endowing it with some of the above characteristics.

The main characteristics of this material include:
– High strength and lightweight: PA12 LCF20 has made breakthroughs in strength while significantly reducing weight. Its tensile strength is increased by 30%, enabling the fuselage to remain stable in violent airflow and sudden impacts. A 25% weight reduction can effectively prolong the flight time of drones and improve operational efficiency.
– Good fatigue resistance: Containing 20% long carbon fiber filling, this makes the material exhibit excellent fatigue resistance in high-stress environments.
– High impact strength: When tested according to standards at -20°C and -40°C, there is no fracture, fully meeting the usage requirements.
– Low abrasion and low friction performance: The product has very low friction noise.
– Chemical resistance: It has certain tolerance to alkalis, oils, yeasts, inorganic diluted acids, aromatics, etc.

Some performance parameters of PA12 LCF20 may vary depending on the specific production process and application scenario. It has broad application potential in fields with high requirements for material performance such as aerospace and automobile manufacturing. For example, it can be used to manufacture drone fuselages, high-performance aviation components, automotive piping systems, etc. Its characteristic of reducing weight while maintaining high strength makes it an ideal choice for these fields. In a rigorous outdoor flight test, the drone fuselage made of this material showed extraordinary performance, demonstrating its great potential in the manufacturing of high-performance aviation components.

In practical applications, it is necessary to reasonably select and use PA12 LCF20 according to specific needs and usage conditions, and refer to the detailed technical data sheet provided by the material supplier.
