I. Introduction to TPU LCF60 Composite Material

Composition:

The TPU LCF60 composite material is mainly composed of thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) and 60% long carbon fiber (LCF). TPU endows the material with elasticity, wear resistance and chemical resistance, while long carbon fiber brings high strength and high rigidity.

Synthesis method (impregnation method):

1. Pre-treat the long carbon fiber to make its surface have good wettability. This usually includes steps such as cleaning, removing impurities and performing surface activation treatment.
2. Place the treated long carbon fiber in a specific mold to form a preform.
3. Slowly inject liquid TPU into the mold to allow TPU to fully impregnate the long carbon fiber preform. In this process, the injection speed, temperature and pressure need to be controlled to ensure that TPU can evenly penetrate all parts of the long carbon fiber.
After TPU fully impregnates the long carbon fiber, perform curing treatment. The curing time and temperature also need to be strictly controlled to ensure the performance of the composite material.
4. After demolding and subsequent processing, the TPU LCF60 composite material is obtained.

Performance characteristics:

Extremely high strength: The high content of long carbon fiber makes the material have excellent strength and can withstand great external forces.
High rigidity: Not easy to deform, providing stable structural support for sports equipment.
Outstanding wear resistance: It can still maintain good performance under frequent use and friction.
Strong chemical resistance: It has strong tolerance to common chemical substances such as sweat and rainwater.
Lightweight: Compared with traditional materials, it is lighter in weight and easy to carry and operate.
Good processing performance: It can be formed by various processing methods to meet the design requirements of different sports equipment.
Recyclability: In line with environmental protection concepts and reduce waste of resources.

Application fields:

Widely used in high-end sports equipment such as trekking poles, bicycle frames, tennis rackets, etc.

II. Application Cases

In a challenging mountaineering expedition, a seasoned mountaineer is holding a trekking pole made of TPU LCF60 composite material meticulously produced by Carbon (Xiamen) New Material, which is particularly eye-catching.

This trekking pole fully showcases the advantages of TPU LCF60 composite material. With its extremely high strength and high rigidity, when climbing steep slopes, even under the full weight of the mountaineer and the action of various complex external forces, it can still provide an extremely stable support for the mountaineer. At the same time, the excellent wear resistance ensures that the trekking pole can always maintain a good appearance and outstanding performance in the frequent friction with hard rocks and rough soil.

It must be mentioned that due to the lightweight characteristic of this material, this trekking pole is about 20% lighter than traditional ones. This advantage is particularly crucial in the long climbing process, greatly reducing the burden on the mountaineer’s arms and enabling them to move forward more easily and enjoy the pleasure of mountaineering better.

When producing this trekking pole, Carbon (Xiamen) New Material strictly controls various process parameters of the infiltration method. From the pretreatment of long carbon fibers to the control of the injection speed, temperature and pressure of liquid TPU, and then to the precise adjustment of curing time and temperature, every link is refined to ensure the high quality and excellent performance of the final product. The design of the trekking pole also fully incorporates ergonomic principles, with an extremely comfortable grip and convenient operation.

The advent of this TPU LCF60 composite material trekking pole undoubtedly brings a new experience to the majority of mountaineering enthusiasts and also injects strong impetus into the vigorous development of the sports equipment industry.
