PA66-CF5 is a new type of material that is a composite enhanced plastic. It is made by adding 5% carbon fiber to Nylon 66 (also known as PA66). In PA6 CF5, PA6 represents its base material as PA6, and CF5 indicates that 5% carbon fibers have been added.

Advantages of PA66-CF5

High Strength PA66 CF5 has a high strength. PA66 exhibits excellent strength and toughness, with a typical tensile strength ranging from 70 to 90 MPa (megapascals), and it possesses good impact resistance and wear resistance. The addition of 5% long carbon fibers further enhances the strength and toughness of PA6, with a tensile strength typically ranging from 90 to 120 MPa.

Lightweight PA66 (polyamide 66) performs excellently in terms of lightweight properties, primarily due to its low density and good mechanical properties. Compared to metal materials, PA66 usually has a density of about 1.13 to 1.15 g/cm³. Although PA66 CF5 has a density typically between 1.25 to 1.30 g/cm³ due to the addition of 5% carbon fiber, its higher strength allows for the use of less material to achieve the same effect, thereby reducing overall weight.

High Impact Resistance PA66 CF5 possesses extremely high impact resistance. Its high impact strength is attributed to the addition of 5% carbon fiber. The impact strength of PA66-CF5 generally ranges from 60 to 90 kJ/m², which is significantly higher than the typical impact strength of standard PA66, which is around 50 kJ/m².

High Wear Resistance Although PA66 has a very high wear resistance, with a wear rate of approximately 0.1-0.5 mm³/kWh, the addition of 5% carbon fiber further reduces this value. The wear rate of PA66 CF5 is generally less than 0.1 mm³/kWh, with specific values possibly between 0.05-0.1 mm³/kWh.

Practical Applications

Automotive Industry The properties of PA66 CF5 are largely superior to those of PA6. In the automotive industry, PA66 CF5 can perfectly replace and achieve better performance in components made from PA6, including body parts, engine components, connectors, brackets, traditional system components, cooling system parts, and electrical components.

Sports Industry Due to the high strength and lightweight characteristics of PA66-CF5, it can be effectively utilized in the sports industry. For instance, in high-performance equipment, treadmills, fitness equipment, protective gear, and footwear, the high strength of PA66 CF5 ensures that the equipment is robust and durable, making it less likely to be damaged when needed. The lightweight feature ensures that it remains sturdy without being too heavy.

Everyday Use PA66 CF5 is well-suited for various everyday environments.

Furniture Components: Used for manufacturing connectors, brackets, and slides in furniture, providing stability and wear resistance, thereby enhancing the furniture’s lifespan.

Sports Equipment: Utilized in home fitness equipment, yoga mat supports, etc., leveraging its lightweight and high-strength properties to improve the performance and portability of the equipment.

Kitchenware: In knives, cutting boards, and cookware, PA66 CF5 can be used to enhance strength and wear resistance, improving user experience.

Toys and Children’s Products: Used to manufacture high-strength toys and children’s furniture, ensuring safety and durability suitable for everyday use.

Personal Care Products: In products such as razors and skincare tools, the excellent mechanical properties of PA66 CF5 make these products lighter and more durable.
