What’s PPS CF20?

PPS CF20 is a type of composite material. It combines PPS resin with 20% carbon fibers, offering high strength, heat resistance and other excellent properties.

1. High Temperature Stability:
– PPS CF20% exhibits excellent thermal stability, maintaining its physical properties in high-temperature environments. Its continuous use temperature typically reaches up to 250°C, with short-term use temperatures up to 300°C.

2. Outstanding Mechanical Properties:
– The inclusion of carbon fibers significantly enhances the material’s rigidity and strength, providing high tensile strength and impact resistance. Generally, the mechanical strength of this material is much higher than that of unreinforced PPS.

3. Excellent Chemical Resistance:
– PPS with 20% carbon fiber filled offers high resistance to most chemicals, including acids, bases, and solvents, making it suitable for use in harsh chemical environments.

4. Low Water Absorption:
– This material has an extremely low water absorption rate, which helps maintain its mechanical performance and dimensional stability, especially in humid conditions.

5. Good Electrical Insulation Properties:
– PPS CF20 provides excellent electrical insulation, making it suitable for electrical and electronic applications and effectively preventing electrical failures.

6. Good Dimensional Stability:
– Due to its low thermal expansion coefficient, PPS with 20% CF filled maintains good dimensional stability with temperature changes, which is particularly important for precision parts.

These properties make PPS + CF20 advantageous for applications in extreme conditions involving high temperatures, chemical exposure, and mechanical stress.

An Application Case in Auto Parts

In today’s automotive manufacturing industry, the performance of materials directly affects the safety and outstanding performance of vehicles. PPS 20%CF carbon fiber reinforced composite materials are gradually becoming the favorite of the industry due to their excellent high-temperature resistance and high-strength characteristics.

Recently, the world-renowned automotive manufacturer boldly introduced 20% CF PPS  in its new high-performance sports car. The engine heat shield and underbody protection plate of this sports car are both made of PPS + CF20% material. The engine heat shield effectively isolates the heat generated by the engine under high-temperature operating conditions, preventing the erosion and damage of high temperatures to other components. Due to the superior high-temperature resistance of PPS CF20, this application greatly improves the reliability of the engine and ensures the stability of the vehicle in extreme driving environments.

At the same time, the use of 20%CF PPS  material for the underbody protection plate also brings a significant safety improvement. The high-strength characteristics of this material enable the protection plate to effectively resist external impacts such as stones and road debris, reducing potential damage to the underbody components. This not only improves the durability of the vehicle but also provides additional protection during high-speed driving or in harsh road conditions.

Carbon (Xiamen) New Material as the supplier of PPS + CF20%, ensures the consistency and high quality of the materials. During the production process, the company strictly controls every link, from raw material procurement to final product testing, to ensure that each piece of 20% carbon fiber reinforced PPS meets the strictest performance standards. Its high-quality materials not only enhance the product performance but also bring consumers a safer and more reliable driving experience.

Through this technological innovation, the application of PPS + 20%CF in the field of automotive manufacturing shows its great potential and also provides valuable experience for the application of materials in other high-demand fields in the future. The successful application of this material undoubtedly injects new impetus into the development of the automotive industry.

How to Control the Quality of PPS CF20 Effectively?

1. Stringent raw material control: Select high-quality carbon fibers and PPS resins as starting materials, ensuring their purity, fiber length and the performance indicators of the resin meet the requirements.
– For example, conduct detailed inspections on carbon fibers to ensure their tensile strength and modulus of elasticity meet the standards.
2. Optimized manufacturing process: Adopt advanced and precisely controlled production processes, such as injection molding, compression molding or hot-press molding.
– For instance, precisely control the parameters of temperature, pressure and time during the molding process to achieve good fiber distribution and resin infiltration.
3. Strict quality inspection: Conduct comprehensive quality inspections at all stages of production, including raw material inspection, process inspection and finished product inspection.
– Such as using professional equipment to test the mechanical, thermal and chemical properties of the composite materials.
4. Employee training: Ensure that operators have rich knowledge and skills and strictly follow operating procedures.
– Regularly organize training to keep employees informed of the latest production technologies and quality control requirements.
5. Environmental control: Maintain a clean, dry and suitable temperature in the production environment to avoid the influence of external factors on the material performance.
6. Continuous research and development and improvement: Continuously explore new formulations and processes to enhance the performance and quality of the materials.
