• What’s PA6 CF30?

Fiber-reinforced plastics such as PA6 CF30% polymers are composite materials composed of high-strength fibers and elastic plastics. They have high stiffness and strength, making the products superior in heat resistance, impact resistance, and dimensional stability, which meet their needs in industrial products and daily life. usage requirements. In recent years, automobiles have been developing toward miniaturization and light-weighting. The volume of the engine room has shrunk and the temperature has increased, requiring components under the hood to be more resistant to high temperatures.

PA6 CF 30 can fully meet the above requirements, so it is widely used in the manufacturing process of automobile parts. For example, car engine parts, electrical parts, body parts, airbags and many other parts can not only provide good protection, but also make the car more beautiful.

• Why to Choose PA6 CF30 Compared to Nylon 6 (PA6)?

PA6 CF30 has higher strength and rigidity, which can meet the application scenarios with higher requirements for mechanical properties. It performs outstandingly in terms of tensile resistance and compression resistance. At the same time, PA6 30%CF has better thermal stability and can still maintain good performance in high-temperature environments, with a wider application range.

In addition, the wear resistance of PA6 30% CF is also better, which can effectively extend the service life of the product. In some occasions where weight reduction is required, due to the addition of carbon fibers, PA6 + CF30 is lighter while ensuring strength. For example, in the fields of automotive parts and aerospace, PA6 CF30 is often a better choice.

• A Real Case Shared with You

In the fiercely competitive, innovative and excellent modern automotive industry, PA6 CF30 developed and produced by Carbon (Xiamen) New Material has occupied a pivotal position by virtue of its outstanding performance. Take the car engine hood, a key component, as an example. Traditional materials tend to encounter thorny problems such as deformation, aging and performance degradation under the harsh working environment of high temperature and high intensity.

PA6 30% carbon fiber exhibits remarkable high-temperature resistance and high strength. When the car engine is in continuous operation, it will continuously generate a large amount of heat. At this time, PA6 CF30 provided by Carbon (Xiamen) New Material can remain as stable as a mountain in this high-temperature environment, maintaining good structural stability and hardly showing any deformation. Meanwhile, its high-strength feature enables the engine hood to calmly cope with various external impacts and frequent vibrations, providing a solid and reliable safety protection for the engine.

In the actual application scenario, a world-renowned and prestigious automotive brand resolutely adopted PA6 – CF30 from Carbon (Xiamen) New Material to manufacture the engine hood. After a long period of use and going through the severe tests of various complex road conditions, this engine hood has always performed excellently. It not only shows no common problems such as deformation and cracking at all, but also weighs about 20% less compared to the engine hood made of traditional materials.

This significant weight reduction achievement effectively improves the fuel economy of the car, saving a lot of fuel expenses for car owners. Moreover, due to the good corrosion resistance of Nylon 6 CF30, the service life of the engine hood is significantly prolonged. This means that the cost of vehicle maintenance is significantly reduced, and car owners do not need to replace the engine hood frequently, bringing a more economical and convenient usage experience to users.
