Flexural Strength: ≥ 120 MPa
Impact Strength: ≥ 5.0 kJ/m²
With 5% carbon fiber content, PA612 CF5 offers a balanced combination of strength, durability, and impact resistance, suitable for medium duty performance applications.
Thermal and Chemical Resistance
PA612-CF5 maintains the inherent thermal and chemical stability of pure PA612, with improvements due to the added carbon fiber reinforcement. It provides reliable performance in moderately high temperature environments and under chemical exposure.
Heat Deflection Temperature (HDT): Approx. 150°C
Long-Term Service Temperature: Up to 150°C
Chemical Resistance: Good resistance to oils, fuels, solvents, and many common chemicals.
PA612 CF5 excels in industrial, automotive, and consumer applications that require decent thermal and chemical resistance.
Wear Resistance and Processing
PA612 CF5 provides good wear resistance, particularly in applications with moderate friction. The 5% carbon fiber content contributes to improved durability while still maintaining good processability with standard thermoplastic processing techniques.
Wear Resistance: Improved in moderate friction conditions compared to unreinforced PA612.
Processing Methods: Injection molding, extrusion (recommended to use reinforced tooling for extended use).
Its superior wear resistance and moderate mechanical strength make PA612 CF5 a practical choice for light duty industrial and consumer applications.
Environmental Adaptability
PA612-CF5 shows low moisture absorption and good dimensional stability, offering consistent performance in fluctuating temperatures and humidity environments. Compared to unreinforced PA612, PA612 CF5 shows slightly better environmental stability due to the added carbon fiber content.
Water Absorption: Low
Dimensional Stability: Excellent, with minimal expansion or contraction under environmental changes
PA612-CF5 ensures reliable performance in indoor and outdoor conditions, suitable for applications in moderate environmental conditions.
Applications
PA612 CF5 is designed for medium duty applications requiring a good balance of mechanical strength, wear resistance, and thermal stability:
Automotive: Moderate stress structural components, brackets, and housings in lower load and temperature environments.
Industrial Manufacturing: Durable parts such as enclosures, fixtures, and support brackets in environments with moderate wear conditions.
Electronics: Protective housings and covers for devices requiring balanced impact resistance and thermal stability.
Consumer Goods: Power tool casings, appliance components, and sports equipment.
