Mechanical Properties
MXD6-CF40 is a high performance polyamide based composite reinforced with 40% carbon fiber, providing maximum stiffness, strength, and wear resistance compared to unreinforced MXD6 and lower CF content variants. The higher carbon fiber content significantly enhances dimensional stability and mechanical durability, making it suitable for structural and high performance applications.
Tensile Strength: ≥ 220 MPa
Flexural Strength: ≥ 310 MPa
Impact Strength: ≥ 5.5 kJ/m²
With 40% carbon fiber reinforcement, MXD6-CF40 offers superior mechanical strength, extreme stiffness, and excellent wear resistance, making it an ideal choice for the most demanding applications.
Thermal and Chemical Resistance
MXD6-CF40 retains the exceptional thermal stability and chemical resistance of MXD6 while benefiting from the enhanced heat resistance and rigidity of carbon fiber reinforcement.
Heat Deflection Temperature (HDT): Approx. 320°C
Long-Term Service Temperature: Up to 320°C
Chemical Resistance: Excellent resistance to oils, fuels, solvents, and various industrial chemicals
MXD6-CF40 ensures long term reliability in high temperature and chemically aggressive environments.
Wear Resistance and Processing
With 40% carbon fiber content, MXD6-CF40 offers exceptional wear resistance and significantly reduced friction, making it ideal for applications exposed to extreme mechanical stress and frictional forces.
Wear Resistance: Outstanding in high wear and friction conditions
Processing Methods: Injection molding, extrusion (reinforced tooling required)
Due to the higher carbon fiber content, MXD6-CF40 requires reinforced molds and optimized processing parameters to ensure efficient manufacturing and the best mechanical performance.
Environmental Adaptability
MXD6-CF40 features very low moisture absorption and exceptional dimensional stability, ensuring consistent performance under extreme environmental conditions.
Water Absorption: Minimal, preventing swelling and material degradation in humid environments
Dimensional Stability: Outstanding, with negligible expansion or contraction under temperature or humidity changes
Applications
MXD6-CF40 is a high strength, carbon fiber reinforced polyamide designed for applications demanding extreme mechanical strength, dimensional stability, and chemical resistance. Its low moisture absorption and enhanced wear resistance make it ideal for harsh operating environments requiring long term durability and mechanical reliability.
