Mechanical Properties
PA612-CF30 is engineered for superior mechanical performance with 30% carbon fiber reinforcement. This higher fiber content significantly enhances stiffness, strength, wear resistance, and dimensional stability compared to unreinforced PA612. The increased carbon fiber also improves stress resistance and impact strength, making it ideal for applications requiring high mechanical loads and extreme performance.
Tensile Strength: ≥ 200 MPa
Flexural Strength: ≥ 280 MPa
Impact Strength: ≥ 2.5 kJ/m²
With 30% carbon fiber, PA612-CF30 provides an excellent combination of strength, durability, and impact resistance, making it suitable for high duty, high performance applications.
Thermal and Chemical Resistance
PA612-CF30 retains the excellent thermal and chemical stability of pure PA612, with further improvements due to the carbon fiber reinforcement. It can reliably perform in high temperature environments and offers exceptional resistance to chemicals.
Heat Deflection Temperature (HDT): Approx. 220°C
Long-Term Service Temperature: Up to 220°C
Chemical Resistance: Excellent resistance to oils, fuels, solvents, and a wide range of chemicals.
PA612-CF30 excels in demanding industrial, automotive, and consumer applications where superior thermal and chemical resistance is essential.
Wear Resistance and Processing
PA612-CF30 delivers exceptional wear resistance, particularly in high friction and high stress environments. The 30% carbon fiber content greatly improves durability, while still maintaining processability with standard thermoplastic techniques.
Wear Resistance: Outstanding in high friction conditions compared to unreinforced PA612.
Processing Methods: Injection molding, extrusion (reinforced tooling recommended).
Its exceptional wear resistance and high mechanical strength make PA612-CF30 the perfect choice for demanding applications in harsh environments.
Environmental Adaptability
PA612-CF30 features very low moisture absorption and excellent dimensional stability, ensuring consistent performance in environments with fluctuating temperatures and humidity. The high carbon fiber content further enhances environmental stability over unreinforced PA612.
Water Absorption: Extremely low
Dimensional Stability: Excellent, with minimal expansion or contraction under environmental changes.
PA612-CF30 provides reliable performance in both indoor and outdoor applications, even in extreme conditions.
Applications
PA612-CF30 is ideal for high duty applications requiring exceptional mechanical strength, wear resistance, and thermal stability:
Automotive: High stress structural components, brackets, housings, and reinforcements in extreme load and temperature environments.
Industrial Manufacturing: Heavy duty parts such as enclosures, fixtures, and structural supports for harsh wear and load conditions.
Electronics: Protective housings and covers for devices requiring high impact resistance and high thermal stability.
Consumer Goods: High performance power tool housings, appliance components, and sports equipment requiring advanced durability.
