Mechanical Properties
ABS-CF30 is engineered for superior mechanical performance, featuring a 30% carbon fiber reinforcement. This significantly increases stiffness, strength, and wear resistance compared to lower carbon fiber composites, making it ideal for applications subjected to very high mechanical loads and extreme stress.
Tensile Strength: ≥ 150 MPa
Flexural Strength: ≥ 220 MPa
Impact Strength: ≥ 5.0 kJ/m²
With 30% carbon fiber content, ABS-CF30 offers exceptional mechanical properties, making it ideal for demanding applications that require maximum strength, wear resistance, and impact protection.
Thermal and Chemical Resistance
ABS-CF30 retains the thermal and chemical stability of pure ABS, but its performance is further enhanced due to the higher carbon fiber content. It excels in high temperature environments and resists aggressive chemical exposure, making it suitable for even more extreme conditions than ABS-CF20.
Heat Deflection Temperature (HDT): Approx. 130°C
Long-Term Service Temperature: Up to 130°C
Chemical Resistance: Excellent resistance to oils, fuels, solvents, and many aggressive chemicals
ABS-CF30 thrives in harsh thermal and chemical environments, making it ideal for industrial, automotive, and other high demand applications.
Wear Resistance and Processing
ABS-CF30 offers exceptional wear resistance, especially in environments with very high friction. Its carbon fiber reinforcement makes it more durable than ABS-CF20 and unreinforced ABS. However, its high carbon fiber content may make it more abrasive to processing equipment.
Wear Resistance: Exceptional under high friction conditions, outperforming unreinforced ABS and lower carbon fiber composites
Processing Methods: Injection molding, extrusion (requires specialized tooling to mitigate wear)
Its advanced wear resistance and durability make ABS-CF30 perfect for heavy duty industrial components and applications where wear and mechanical stress are significant factors.
Environmental Adaptability
ABS-CF30 features very low moisture absorption and superior dimensional stability, ensuring reliable performance in environments with fluctuating temperatures and humidity. Compared to lower carbon fiber content materials, it offers improved stability in challenging conditions.
Water Absorption: Extremely low
Dimensional Stability: Excellent, with minimal expansion or contraction due to environmental changes
ABS-CF30’s stability and resilience to environmental changes make it ideal for use in a wide range of applications.
Applications
ABS-CF30 is designed for demanding applications that require the highest mechanical properties, wear resistance, and thermal stability. Common applications include:
Automotive: High performance, load bearing components such as structural parts, engine components, and housings exposed to extreme conditions.
Industrial Manufacturing: Heavy duty components such as electrical enclosures, brackets, and mechanical parts subjected to high wear, friction, and stress.
Electronics: Rugged, durable protective covers and housings for devices exposed to mechanical stress and requiring high impact resistance.
Consumer Goods: High-end parts requiring exceptional strength, wear resistance, and thermal stability.
