PPS-LCF10 Material Overview
PPS-LCF10 is a high-performance engineering plastic designed for industrial applications that require a balance of mechanical strength, thermal stability, and chemical resistance. With 10% carbon fiber reinforcement, PPS-LCF10 offers enhanced stiffness and strength compared to standard PPS, making it suitable for moderate load and stress environments. It provides reliable performance under a range of temperatures and chemical exposures.
Mechanical Properties
PPS-LCF10 is optimized for applications requiring a combination of strength, stiffness, and good dimensional stability. The 10% carbon fiber content improves the material’s mechanical properties while maintaining processing flexibility.
- Tensile Strength: ≥ 180 MPa (Enhanced by carbon fiber reinforcement)
- Flexural Strength: ≥ 300 MPa
- Impact Strength: ≥ 40 kJ/m² (Adjusted for lower carbon fiber content compared to higher reinforcement grades)
The lower carbon fiber content provides a balance of strength and flexibility, making PPS-LCF10 suitable for applications with moderate mechanical stress.
Thermal and Chemical Resistance
PPS-LCF10 retains excellent properties in challenging environments, with strong resistance to high temperatures and aggressive chemicals.
- Heat Deflection Temperature (HDT): Approx. 270°C (Moderate improvement due to carbon fiber content)
- Long-Term Service Temperature: Up to 250°C
- Chemical Resistance: Excellent resistance to oils, solvents, acids, alkalis, and other aggressive chemicals
The carbon fiber reinforcement enhances both the material’s thermal stability and its ability to withstand exposure to harsh chemical environments.
Wear Resistance and Processing Characteristics
While not as wear-resistant as higher carbon fiber reinforced grades, PPS-LCF10 still performs well in moderate wear applications.
- Wear Resistance: Good performance under moderate friction and repetitive motion.
- Processing Methods: Suitable for injection molding, extrusion, and other thermoplastic processing methods. Processing temperatures are slightly higher than for unreinforced PPS but remain within typical ranges for thermoplastic processing.
The addition of carbon fiber enhances durability, rigidity, and wear resistance for moderate to light wear applications.
Environmental Adaptability
PPS-LCF10 is highly adaptable to various environmental conditions. It absorbs minimal water, retains dimensional stability, and maintains its mechanical properties in diverse conditions, including outdoor and humid environments.
Applications
PPS-LCF10 is designed for applications requiring moderate mechanical strength, thermal stability, and chemical resistance. Typical applications include:
- Automotive Industry: Components such as gaskets, seals, and connectors exposed to moderate mechanical stress and temperatures.
- Industrial Manufacturing: Components like bushings, bearings, and structural parts under moderate loads and chemical exposure.
- Electronics: Enclosures and housings requiring resistance to moderate heat and chemicals.
- Aerospace: Structural components that need to withstand moderate mechanical stress and temperatures.
