PA610-CF20 is a high performance material reinforced with 20% carbon fiber, offering a significant improvement in stiffness, strength, and wear resistance compared to unreinforced PA610. The addition of carbon fiber enhances the material’s overall durability while retaining the flexibility and ease of processing typical of PA610. This balance makes PA610-CF20 ideal for applications that require higher mechanical performance and enhanced wear resistance, without compromising on workability.

Tensile Strength: ≥ 130 MPa

Flexural Strength: ≥ 190 MPa

Impact Strength: ≥ 5.5 kJ/m²

With 20% carbon fiber content, PA610-CF20 offers superior mechanical properties over unreinforced PA610, making it suitable for moderate to demanding applications where both strength and processability are essential.

Thermal and Chemical Resistance

PA610-CF20 offers enhanced thermal stability and chemical resistance compared to pure PA610. The carbon fiber reinforcement provides additional protection against high-temperature environments and exposure to oils, fuels, solvents, and a variety of chemicals. This makes it an excellent choice for moderate temperature applications and environments with chemical exposure.

Heat Deflection Temperature (HDT): Approx. 170°C

Long-Term Service Temperature: Up to 170°C

Chemical Resistance: Good resistance to oils, fuels, solvents, and a broad range of chemicals

PA610-CF20 is ideal for environments where moderate levels of thermal and chemical resistance are required, ensuring long term performance.

Wear Resistance and Processing

The 20% carbon fiber content in PA610-CF20 significantly improves wear resistance, especially in light to moderate friction conditions. The addition of carbon fiber enhances the material’s durability while maintaining good processability with standard thermoplastic methods such as injection molding and extrusion.

Wear Resistance: Good to excellent, superior to unreinforced PA610 in light to moderate friction conditions

Processing Methods: Injection molding, extrusion (standard tooling recommended)

While PA610-CF20 is not intended for extreme wear environments, it provides excellent durability and wear resistance for most industrial and commercial applications.

Environmental Adaptability

PA610-CF20 has excellent environmental adaptability, with low moisture absorption and good dimensional stability. This material performs reliably in environments with moderate temperature and humidity fluctuations, making it suitable for a variety of indoor applications.

Water Absorption: Low

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

PA610-CF20 ensures consistent performance even under varying environmental conditions, making it ideal for long term applications.
