What’s PPA LCF10 Composed of?

PPA LCF10 (10% Long Carbon Fiber Polyphthalamide) is composed of polyphthalamide as the base material and 10% long carbon fiber as the reinforcing filler.
The polyphthalamide provides the fundamental properties such as certain mechanical strength, heat resistance, and chemical stability.

The long carbon fiber is added to enhance the mechanical properties of the material, including increasing its strength, rigidity, and impact resistance. The combination of these two components results in a composite material with improved performance characteristics for various applications.

Which properties does PPA LCF10 Feature?

– Mechanical properties:

– High strength: The addition of carbon fiber can significantly improve the tensile strength, bending strength, etc. of the material, enabling it to withstand greater external forces without easily breaking or deforming. It can be used for parts with high strength requirements.
– High rigidity: It can endow the material with high stiffness and is not easy to bend or twist when under force, helping to maintain the dimensional stability of the product.
– Good impact resistance: It has a certain impact resistance and can absorb energy when impacted, reducing the risk of cracking or damage.

– Thermal properties:

– High temperature resistance: PPA itself has good high temperature resistance performance. The presence of carbon fiber may further increase its heat resistance temperature, enabling it to maintain good performance stability in high temperature environments. It can be applied to parts that work under high temperature conditions.
– Low coefficient of thermal expansion: It helps to reduce the dimensional change of the material when the temperature changes and ensure the accuracy and reliability of the product in different temperature environments.

– Electrical properties:

According to specific formulations and production processes, it may have certain electrical conductivity or electrostatic dissipation properties. This is more important for some applications that are sensitive to static electricity. For example, in the field of electronic equipment, it can effectively prevent electrostatic accumulation from causing damage to electronic components.

– Other properties:

– Good dimensional stability: It helps to ensure the accuracy and consistency of product dimensions during processing and use.
– Chemical resistance: It has a certain tolerance to multiple chemical substances and can be used in applications with chemical corrosion environments.
– Wear resistance: In some application scenarios with frequent friction, it shows good wear resistance and can extend the service life of the product.
