Strength between PPA and PPA-CF
PPA-CF (carbon fiber reinforced) offers significantly higher mechanical strength and rigidity compared to standard PPA. The addition of carbon fiber enhances tensile strength, flexural strength, and wear resistance, making PPA-CF more suitable for heavy loads and extreme environments. While standard PPA is suitable for medium-load and conventional applications, PPA-CF provides superior performance for more demanding industrial conditions.
