What’s PA66 CF20 ?

PA66 CF20 refers to a type of composite material made from Polyamide 66 (PA66) reinforced with 20% carbon fiber (CF). PA66 is a synthetic thermoplastic polymer known for its strength, stiffness, and resistance to heat, wear, and chemicals. When carbon fiber is added to PA66 in a 20% concentration, it enhances these properties even further:

1. Strength and Stiffness: Carbon fiber reinforcement significantly increases the tensile strength and stiffness of PA66 CF20% compared to unfilled PA66. This makes it suitable for applications requiring structural integrity and durability.

2. Lightweight: Despite being strong and stiff, carbon fiber is lightweight. Incorporating it into PA66 reduces the overall weight of the composite compared to metals, while maintaining or even improving strength.

3. Heat Resistance: PA66 20%CF retains the good heat resistance typical of PA66, making it suitable for applications where exposure to high temperatures is a concern.

4. Dimensional Stability: Carbon fiber reinforcement also improves dimensional stability, reducing warping or deformation under load or temperature changes.

5. Electrical Conductivity: Carbon fiber can add some degree of electrical conductivity to PA66 20% CF, depending on the specific formulation and fiber type used.

Applications of PA66 CF20 include automotive components, aerospace parts, industrial equipment, and sporting goods where a balance of strength, stiffness, and light weight is critical. However, it’s important to note that the exact properties and performance can vary depending on the manufacturing process and the specific carbon fiber used.

A real application case of PA66 CF20 manufactured by Carbon (Xiamen) New Material

Recently, a type of PA66 + CF20 (20% carbon fiber reinforced polyamide 66) developed by Carbon (Xiamen) New Material Co., Ltd. has been applied in a high-performance racing project named “Future Power”. This racing project is committed to creating an ultra-lightweight and high-strength racing car to challenge the ultimate speed and provide more energy-efficient solutions in the context of increasingly strict environmental protection regulations.

In the “Future Power” project, the application of PA66 20% Carbon Fiber is reflected in multiple key components of the racing car. The car body shell adopts PA66+CF20 provided by Carbon (Xiamen) New Material Co., Ltd. This material not only has excellent mechanical strength and rigidity, but also is much lighter in weight than traditional metal materials. The design of the racing car body has undergone precise calculation and optimization, significantly reducing the weight of the body and thereby improving the acceleration performance and handling stability of the racing car.

In addition, the suspension system and brake calipers of the racing car also use PA66 CF20 provided by Carbon (Xiamen) New Material Co., Ltd. These components perform outstandingly when subjected to high-frequency impacts and high-temperature environments, ensuring the reliability of the racing car under extreme conditions. Due to the superior thermal stability of the PA66 – CF20 material, when the racing car is running at high speed, the deformation and wear of the components are minimal, greatly improving the overall durability.

This case not only demonstrates the revolutionary application of PA66 + 20% CF material produced by Carbon (Xiamen) New Material Co., Ltd. in the field of racing, but also highlights the potential of future high-performance materials in promoting technological innovation and enhancing environmental sustainability.

What significant advantages does PA66 CF20 has compared to other materials?

Nylon 66 CF20 has extremely excellent mechanical strength and rigidity, far surpassing many common materials. In terms of weight, it is much lighter than traditional metal materials, greatly reducing the overall load and thereby effectively improving the portability and flexibility of the product. Its thermal stability is extremely superior and it can easily withstand high-temperature environments and high-frequency impacts. In addition, Polyamide 66 CF20 is relatively low in cost and has a high cost performance. Because of this, it has a broad application prospect in many fields. For example, in the automotive manufacturing industry, it can not only significantly improve the performance of the car, but also control the cost well.
