PPA LCF40 has high-temperature resistance (maintains strength and stability above 150°C), low moisture absorption (reduces humidity-induced performance fluctuations), excellent mechanical properties (high rigidity & impact resistance for withstanding vibrations and stress), and electromagnetic interference shielding for BMS reliability & stability in various conditions.
As the new energy industry continues to grow, electric vehicles (EVs) have become a key direction for future transportation. One of the core components of an electric vehicle is the battery, and the Battery Management System (BMS) is responsible for monitoring, protecting, and managing the battery’s performance. The BMS requires highly accurate sensors and stable power supply to ensure the safety, longevity, and efficiency of the battery. In this context, a leading electric vehicle manufacturer decided to use PPA LCF40 material in its next-generation EVs to optimize the reliability and performance of its BMS.
The BMS system of an electric vehicle needs to withstand various complex environmental conditions, including high temperatures, humidity changes, mechanical vibrations, and electromagnetic interference. The choice of materials is crucial to ensure long-term stability and high precision of the system. The previously used materials exhibited significant performance drift under high-temperature conditions, affecting the accuracy and stability of the system. Additionally, the BMS components require good mechanical strength to withstand physical stress during installation and operation.
PPA LCF40, a new type of Polyphthalamide (PPA) material, was selected for the BMS housing and key connectors due to its excellent high-temperature resistance, chemical resistance, and mechanical strength. Its key performance characteristics include:
1. Superior High-Temperature Resistance: PPA LCF40 can maintain its mechanical strength and dimensional stability in high-temperature environments above 150°C, ensuring that the BMS can reliably operate under prolonged high-temperature conditions.
2. Low Moisture Absorption: Compared to traditional materials, PPA LCF40 has low moisture absorption, significantly reducing performance fluctuations caused by humidity changes, thus ensuring the precision and reliability of sensors and electronic components.
3. Excellent Mechanical Properties: The high rigidity and impact resistance of PPA LCF40 allow it to effectively withstand vibrations and mechanical stress, maintaining structural integrity during assembly and long-term use.
4. Electromagnetic Interference Shielding: This material has good electromagnetic shielding properties, reducing the impact of external electromagnetic interference on BMS accuracy, ensuring system stability.
By applying PPA LCF40 to the BMS housing and key connectors, the electric vehicle manufacturer successfully enhanced the reliability and lifespan of the BMS system. Test results showed a 40% reduction in system performance drift under simulated high-temperature and high-humidity environments, with the overall system error rate decreasing by 25%. Additionally, the impact of electromagnetic interference on system performance was significantly reduced.
The customer expressed high satisfaction with the application of PPA LCF40 in the BMS and plans to continue using this material in future EV projects. PPA LCF40 not only improved the performance of the electric vehicles but also established a more reliable and safer technological image for the brand.

What are CF Reinforced Thermoplastic Composites?
CF Reinforced Thermoplastic Composites are materials where carbon fibers are incorporated into a thermoplastic matrix. They combine the strength and stiffness of carbon fibers with the processability and recyclability of thermoplastics. For instance, they are used in automotive parts like bumper beams.
What are the benefits of CF Reinforced Thermoplastic Composites over traditional composites?
The key benefits include faster production cycles, easier recyclability, and better impact resistance. They also offer design flexibility. An example is in the manufacturing of consumer electronics casings where complex shapes can be achieved more easily.
How are CF Reinforced Thermoplastic Composites processed?
Common processing methods include injection molding, extrusion, and compression molding. Injection molding is widely used for mass production. For example, in the production of small components for the medical industry.
What industries use CF Reinforced Thermoplastic Composites?
They are utilized in aerospace, automotive, medical, and sports equipment industries. In aerospace, they can be found in interior components. In the medical field, they might be used in prosthetics.
How does the carbon fiber content affect the properties of the composites?
Higher carbon fiber content generally leads to increased strength and stiffness but may reduce ductility. A moderate content is often balanced for specific applications. For example, a higher content might be preferred in structural parts of a race car.
What are the challenges in using CF Reinforced Thermoplastic Composites?
Challenges include higher material costs, complex processing equipment requirements, and ensuring uniform fiber dispersion. Issues with adhesion between the fibers and the matrix can also arise. An example is in achieving consistent quality in large-scale production.
