PA12, namely Nylon 12, has good chemical stability, oil resistance, abrasion resistance, and low-temperature flexibility. Long carbon fibers have the characteristics of high strength and high modulus, and their tensile strength and elastic modulus are extremely outstanding, which can greatly enhance the mechanical properties of the material.
1. High strength: With 50% long carbon fibers, this composite material has outstanding strength. Its tensile strength is much higher than that of many traditional materials and PA12 LCF50 can withstand huge tensile and compressive forces. It performs excellently in application scenarios with heavy loads. For example, in the field of mechanical manufacturing, PA12 LCF50 can ensure the structural stability of equipment under high-load operation.
2. High modulus: The high modulus endows the material with excellent rigidity. This makes it deform less when subjected to force and can maintain an accurate shape and size. In the manufacturing of precision instruments, PA12 LCF50 can ensure the precision and stability of key components of the instrument under various working conditions.
3. Good heat resistance: PA12 LCF50 can work stably in a relatively high temperature environment. In some high-temperature working scenarios, such as parts near the engine in the automotive industry, this material can withstand high temperatures without softening or losing its key performance, ensuring the normal operation and safety of the equipment.
4. Strong chemical corrosion resistance: It has strong resistance to various chemical substances. Whether it is in contact with corrosive chemical reagents in the chemical production environment or resisting acid rain and other erosions in the outdoor environment, this material can maintain its structural integrity and performance, effectively extending the service life of the product.
5. Low coefficient of friction: The surface has a low coefficient of friction, which is very beneficial in some moving parts. For example, in mechanical transmission devices, PA12 LCF50 can reduce energy loss, improve transmission efficiency, and at the same time reduce the wear of parts and reduce maintenance costs.
6. High dimensional stability: Under different temperature and humidity conditions, its size changes very little. This is a crucial performance advantage for some fields with extremely high requirements for dimensional accuracy, such as the manufacturing of precision parts in the aerospace field, ensuring the reliability and safety of aircraft in various environments.
In the aerospace field, due to its characteristics of high strength, high modulus, and high dimensional stability, it is suitable for manufacturing key parts such as aircraft wings and satellite structural components. These parts need to withstand complex stresses and maintain stable size and performance in extreme environments. In the automotive industry, the characteristics of good heat resistance and strong chemical corrosion resistance make it can be used in the production of parts around the engine and the chassis of the car to ensure normal work in high-temperature and complex chemical environments. In the field of mechanical manufacturing, the low coefficient of friction is beneficial for manufacturing high-precision moving parts such as transmission gears, and the high strength is suitable for mechanical parts with high-load operation. In the manufacturing of precision instruments, the high modulus and high dimensional stability can ensure the precision and reliability of the instrument. In the chemical industry, the advantage of strong chemical corrosion resistance makes it play a role in the manufacturing of equipment for storing and transporting corrosive chemicals.
The PA12 LCF50 composite material has a certain degree of recyclability. Through specific recycling processes, it can be recycled and reused, reducing resource waste and environmental pressure.
In the manufacturing of the frame of a high-end mountain bike, the PA12-LCF50 composite material produced by Carbon (Xiamen) New Material Company has shown great capabilities.
During the riding process of a mountain bike, it needs to withstand complex external forces, including the bumps and impacts brought by the rugged road surface. Ordinary frame materials often cannot withstand high-intensity stress. However, the PA12 LCF50 composite material, relying on the high strength and high modulus of 50% long carbon fibers, has increased the overall strength of the frame by about 80% compared with the traditional aluminum alloy frame.
Its excellent heat resistance can also ensure that the performance of the frame is not affected during the process of heat generation such as braking. In terms of chemical corrosion resistance, even if the bicycle is traveling in various complex environments, such as encountering mud, rainwater, and possible chemical pollution, the frame can still maintain good performance.
This mountain bike with a frame made of PA12 LCF50 composite material not only has excellent performance but also is lightweight, bringing a brand-new riding experience to riders and is very popular in the market.

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.
