Mechanical Properties

ABS-CF50 is engineered for outstanding mechanical performance, featuring a 50% carbon fiber reinforcement. This significant increase in carbon fiber content provides unparalleled stiffness, strength, and wear resistance, making it ideal for applications exposed to extremely high mechanical loads and severe stress conditions.

Tensile Strength: ≥ 250 MPa

Flexural Strength: ≥ 350 MPa

Impact Strength: ≥ 7.0 kJ/m²

With 50% carbon fiber content, ABS-CF50 delivers superior mechanical properties, making it perfect for the most demanding applications that require maximum strength, durability, wear resistance, and impact protection.

Thermal and Chemical Resistance

ABS-CF50 retains the thermal and chemical stability of pure ABS, with enhanced performance due to the high carbon fiber content. It performs excellently in high temperature environments and is resistant to aggressive chemicals, making it well suited for even more extreme conditions than ABS-CF40.

Heat Deflection Temperature (HDT): Approx. 150°C

Long-Term Service Temperature: Up to 150°C

Chemical Resistance: Excellent resistance to oils, fuels, solvents, and many aggressive chemicals

ABS-CF50 thrives in the harshest thermal and chemical environments, making it perfect for industrial, automotive, and other high performance applications exposed to extreme conditions.

Wear Resistance and Processing

ABS-CF50 offers exceptional wear resistance, particularly in high friction environments. With 50% carbon fiber reinforcement, it provides superior durability compared to ABS-CF40 and unreinforced ABS. However, the higher carbon fiber content may cause increased abrasiveness in processing equipment.

Wear Resistance: Superior under extremely high friction conditions, outperforming unreinforced ABS and lower carbon fiber composites

Processing Methods: Injection molding, extrusion (specialized tooling may be required to manage wear)

Its exceptional wear resistance and durability make ABS-CF50 ideal for heavy duty industrial components and applications where wear, friction, and mechanical stress are critical factors.

Environmental Adaptability

ABS-CF50 features extremely low moisture absorption and exceptional dimensional stability, ensuring reliable performance in environments with fluctuating temperatures and humidity. Compared to lower carbon fiber content materials, it offers enhanced stability in challenging environments.

Water Absorption: Extremely low

Dimensional Stability: Excellent, with minimal expansion or contraction under environmental changes

ABS-CF50’s excellent stability and resilience to environmental fluctuations make it suitable for use in the most demanding applications.

Applications

ABS-CF50 is designed for the most extreme applications that require top tier mechanical properties, wear resistance, and thermal stability. Common applications include:

Automotive: High performance structural components, engine parts, and housings exposed to extreme temperatures and mechanical stress.

Industrial Manufacturing: Heavy duty parts such as electrical enclosures, mechanical brackets, and components that experience high wear, friction, and stress.

Electronics: Rugged, durable protective covers and housings for devices subjected to mechanical stress and requiring superior impact resistance.

Consumer Goods: Premium, high end parts requiring exceptional strength, wear resistance, and thermal stability.
