What do you know about PA12 LCF30?

PA12 LCF30 is a high-performance thermoplastic composite material reinforced by 30% long carbon fiber filling. Its base material is polyamide 12 (PA12), which is a semicrystalline-crystalline thermoplastic material.

As a multifunctional engineering plastic, PA12 is widely used in multiple fields due to its unique physical and chemical properties. It is an ideal material for various molding methods from traditional injection molding to 3D printing and has extraordinary value in fields such as healthcare, automobiles, and industrial piping systems.

Carbon fiber is known for its extremely strong tensile strength. For example, the tensile strength of T800 carbon fiber is as high as an astonishing 5800 MPa. When combined with thermoplastic resin such as PA12, it can effectively enhance the overall mechanical properties of the composite material, endowing it with higher load-bearing capacity and deformation resistance.

Which Performances does PA12 LCF30 Feature?

When PA12 meets carbon fiber, PA12 LCF30% shows many excellent characteristics.

The high strength comes from 30% long carbon fiber filling, which can withstand greater external forces without being damaged. When applied in scenarios with high structural requirements such as drone fuselages, it can effectively resist air flow impacts and accidental collisions. High hardness makes it not easily scratched or worn. The components made from it have good appearance and performance and can extend service life. At the same time, it also has good toughness and can absorb impact energy to prevent brittle fracture.

It has a relatively low density and is a lightweight material, which is of great significance for weight-sensitive fields such as drones. It can reduce the overall weight and improve endurance and flight stability. And it has good dimensional stability. Under different temperature and humidity conditions, the dimensional change is small, ensuring the precision and stability of products and reducing assembly problems and performance impacts.

It has good chemical resistance and can maintain stable performance in various chemical environments and can resist the erosion of substances such as oil, acid, and alkali. It also has relatively high heat resistance and can still maintain its physical and mechanical properties in a certain high-temperature environment, making it suitable for high-temperature working scenarios such as parts around automobile engines.

Wide Application Fields of PA12 LCF30

With these excellent properties, 30%LCF PA12 has broad application prospects in many fields.

In the field of drone manufacturing, taking advantage of its high strength, high hardness, and lightweight characteristics, it can be used to manufacture structural components such as fuselages and wings, ensuring structural strength while reducing weight and improving endurance and flight stability. For example, the material produced by Carbon (Xiamen) New Material Co., Ltd. is applied to industrial drones and can still fly stably and complete complex inspection tasks at a wind speed of 10 meters per second.

In the automotive industry, it can be used for parts such as engine peripherals and automotive piping systems. Its high temperature resistance and chemical corrosion resistance can adapt to the complex environment inside the car.

In the field of electronics and electrical appliances, its good electrical insulation makes it suitable for manufacturing electrical parts, instruments, etc., and its dimensional stability also meets the requirements of precision electronic equipment.

In furniture and lighting, its high hardness and high temperature resistance characteristics can be used to manufacture related components.

In the field of sports equipment, such as high-end bicycle parts, it can improve the durability and performance of equipment.

In practical applications, the specific uses of PA12+LCF30 will be adjusted and optimized according to product requirements and designs.
