PP-CF30 is a composite material that is a carbon fiber reinforced material based on polypropylene (PP) with added carbon fibers. It has excellent physical properties and a wide range of application scenarios.

PP itself is a lightweight and chemically resistant thermoplastic with good processing properties, but it performs poorly in strength and rigidity. By adding CF30, which is 30% carbon fiber, the mechanical properties of PP have been improved, especially in terms of rigidity. And this polypropylene with 30% carbon fiber added is called PP CF30.

PP-CF30 Characteristics

Lightweight and high-strength: PP CF30 adds carbon fiber material while maintaining the low-density characteristics of polypropylene material. At the same time, due to the addition of carbon fiber, the hardness of the material is greatly improved, and the shape is not easily changed. Therefore, this material is particularly suitable for scenarios where both high strength and lightweight are required.

Chemical resistance and weather resistance: Polypropylene (PP) itself has good chemical resistance and corrosion resistance, and can resist the corrosion of the vast majority of chemical reagents. By reinforcing with carbon fiber, it can maintain stable performance even in harsh environments.

Excellent thermal stability: Polypropylene (PP) will not be changerd the shape at high temperatures, but its thermal stability is improved by the addition of carbon fibers. PP CF30 can maintain its physical properties at higher temperatures and is not prone to deformation, making it suitable for work that may require high temperature environments.

Processability:  Although carbon fiber reinforced materials are usually difficult to process, the addition of PP CF30 to polypropylene still retains its good processability. So it can be applied to common industrial processing methods such as injection molding and extrusion.

Application Fields of PP-CF30

Automotive industry:  Due to its lightweight and high-strength characteristics, PP CF30 is widely used in the manufacturing of automotive components such as bumpers, dashboard brackets, door linings, etc. It can reduce the weight of the entire vehicle, thereby improving fuel efficiency and reducing carbon emissions.

Aerospace: PP CF30 has the characteristics of lightweight and high strength. In the aviation field where weight reduction, fuel efficiency improvement, and high performance are required, PP CF30 is commonly used to manufacture interior components and structural parts.

Sports equipment: PP CF30 is a great choice for sturdy and durable sports such as bicycle frames, skis, and tennis rackets due to its high strength and durability, as it is not easily damaged by external forces.

Consumer Electronics:  The durability and lightweight characteristics of PP CF30 make it also applicable in structural components such as electronic device casings, which can make products lighter while maintaining quality.
