Mechanical Properties
PA610-CF30 is a high performance material reinforced with 30% carbon fiber, offering a significant improvement in mechanical properties compared to unreinforced PA610. The addition of carbon fiber enhances stiffness, strength, and wear resistance, making it suitable for applications where higher mechanical performance and durability are essential. Despite the increased fiber content, it maintains good processability, making it ideal for demanding applications that require both strength and ease of processing.
Tensile Strength: ≥ 160 MPa
Flexural Strength: ≥ 230 MPa
Impact Strength: ≥ 6.0 kJ/m²
With 30% carbon fiber content, PA610-CF30 offers superior mechanical properties over unreinforced PA610, making it a strong candidate for applications requiring high performance and durability.
Thermal and Chemical Resistance
PA610-CF30 provides excellent thermal stability and enhanced chemical resistance over pure PA610, thanks to the carbon fiber reinforcement. This material excels in moderate to high temperature environments and offers resistance to oils, fuels, solvents, and a variety of chemicals, making it suitable for applications in harsh environments where chemical exposure and heat resistance are essential.
Heat Deflection Temperature (HDT): Approx. 190°C
Long-Term Service Temperature: Up to 190°C
Chemical Resistance: Good resistance to oils, fuels, solvents, and a broad range of chemicals
PA610-CF30 ensures long term performance in environments with moderate to high temperatures and chemical exposure.
Wear Resistance and Processing
The 30% carbon fiber content significantly enhances the wear resistance of PA610-CF30, especially in applications exposed to moderate to heavy friction. The addition of carbon fiber boosts durability while still allowing for standard processing methods, such as injection molding and extrusion, making it a versatile material for demanding industrial applications.
