Application Examples of Carbon Fiber Nylon 6

Some application examples of different filling content ranges of carbon fiber in nylon 6.

1. 1% – 5%
– Daily necessities: For example, combs, toothbrushes, etc. Adding a small amount of carbon fiber can improve the strength and wear resistance of the products, making them more durable.
– Ordinary packaging materials: They are used for packaging containers or films that have certain strength requirements, such as packaging boxes for electronic products and plastic packaging bags. Without significantly increasing the cost, it can enhance the tear resistance and compressive resistance of the packaging.

2. 5% – 10%
– Electronic and electrical components: Such as the casings or internal structural parts of electronic products like computers and mobile phones. Nylon 6 reinforced with carbon fiber in this content range has both certain strength and rigidity, and can maintain good electromagnetic shielding performance and dimensional stability, which helps protect electronic components and reduce electromagnetic interference.
– Furniture accessories: For instance, casters and handles of tables and chairs. It can enhance the wear resistance and load-bearing capacity of the accessories, extend their service life, and also achieve product lightweighting to a certain extent.

3. 10% – 20%
– Automotive interior parts: Such as instrument panels and door trim panels. It can improve the strength and heat resistance of the parts, making them less likely to deform during long-term use and providing better impact resistance in case of collisions.
– Sports equipment: Like badminton rackets and tennis rackets. It can significantly enhance the strength and rigidity of the rackets, enabling players to better transfer force when hitting the ball. Meanwhile, it can also reduce the weight of the rackets and improve their handling performance.

4. 20% – 30%
– Automotive parts around the engine: Such as engine covers and intake manifolds. Nylon 6 reinforced with carbon fiber in this content range has high heat resistance and mechanical strength, can withstand the high temperature and vibration generated when the engine is working, and also helps with the lightweighting of automobiles and improves fuel economy.
– Mechanical parts: Such as gears and pulleys. It can enhance the wear resistance, rigidity and dimensional stability of the parts, reduce wear and deformation, and improve the mechanical transmission efficiency and service life.

5. 30% – 60%
– Aerospace structural parts: For example, wing and fuselage structural parts of aircraft. Ultra-high strength and lightweight materials are required to meet the flight performance requirements. Nylon 6 reinforced with a high content of carbon fiber not only has excellent mechanical properties but also can effectively reduce the weight of the aircraft, improving fuel efficiency and flight range.
– High-end medical devices: Such as surgical instruments and artificial joints. There are strict requirements for the strength, wear resistance and biocompatibility of the materials. The nylon 6 composite material with a high carbon fiber content can meet these performance requirements. Meanwhile, certain electrical conductivity or thermal conductivity can be achieved by adjusting the formulation to meet special medical application scenarios.
