Virgin ABS CF15 Plastic Granules Recycled ABS 15 CF Plastic Materials
I. Introduction of compositions
-ABS basic components: ABS plastic itself is a terpolymer of three monomers: acrylonitrile (A), butadiene (B), and styrene (S). The content of acrylonitrile is usually around 15%-35%, endowing the material with chemical corrosion resistance, heat resistance, and a certain surface hardness; the content of butadiene is generally 5%-30%, providing elasticity and toughness; the content of styrene is around 40%-60%, improving processing and molding characteristics and enhancing transparency and gloss.
-Carbon fiber content: In “ABS CF15 Plastic Granules”, the addition amount of carbon fiber is 15%. Carbon fiber is a fiber material with high strength and high modulus. Its addition can significantly improve the mechanical properties of ABS pellets.
-Differences between ABS LCF15 and ABS CF15:
| Comparison item | Chopped carbon fiber reinforced ABS (ABS CCF) | Long carbon fiber filled ABS (ABS LCF) |
|---|---|---|
| Fiber length | Usually less than 1 millimeter | Ranges from 1 to 25 millimeters in length |
| Reinforcement effect | Certainly enhances the mechanical strength of the material to some extent, but the reinforcement effect is weaker than that of long carbon fibers. It can improve tensile and flexural strength and modulus. | Significantly enhances the mechanical strength of products. Especially in terms of tensile strength and impact resistance, it can increase the strength several times or even dozens of times. |
| Distribution and molding | Evenly dispersed in the matrix material. Generally processed and molded by methods such as fused deposition. | In the 3D printing process, it will not be cut into small pieces. It can be reinforced where needed to provide a more consistent load distribution. |
| Bonding with matrix | After bonding with the matrix, the pressure transfer is mainly through the matrix material. | Tensile and flexural loads are mainly applied to the long fiber bundles, minimizing the load on the matrix polymer. |
| Application range | Has a wide application range and is suitable for the processing of various thermoplastics. The cost is relatively low. | The production is difficult and the application range is relatively narrow. However, it can manufacture stronger parts and is suitable for occasions with extremely high requirements for strength and stiffness. |
| Processing difficulty | Processing is relatively easy and can be adapted to various conventional processing equipment and processes. | Processing is more difficult. Usually requires special printing technologies or equipment, such as dual extrusion nozzle technology. |
| Product performance stability | The product performance stability is relatively good, but in some scenarios with extremely high performance requirements, it may not be able to meet them. | The product performance stability is higher. Especially under long-term stress or complex stress environments, long carbon fibers can better maintain the stability and strength of the structure. |
Note: The content reflected in the above table is the difference between long and short carbon fibers in reinforcing ABS in CF15-ABS composites.
II. Main performance advantages
1. Mechanical properties:
-Strength improvement: Carbon fiber addition significantly increases material strength. Compared to ordinary ABS plastic, tensile, bending, and compressive strengths are enhanced. Useful in structural parts requiring high stress for reliability and stability.
-Improved impact resistance: ABS has some impact resistance. Carbon fiber further improves ABS CF15, reducing likelihood of cracking or damage in high-impact scenarios like automotive parts and sports equipment.
-Enhanced wear resistance: High-hardness carbon fiber combines with ABS matrix to improve wear resistance, withstanding long-term friction and wear for longer service life.
2. Thermal properties:
-Improved thermal stability: Carbon fiber’s good thermal stability raises heat distortion and decomposition temperatures of the material. Enables better dimensional stability and mechanical properties in higher temperatures, suitable for parts in high-temperature environments like electronics casings and automotive engine components.
-Improved thermal conductivity: Carbon fiber’s better conductivity than ABS improves that of “ABS CF15 Plastic Granules”, facilitating heat dissipation and avoiding performance issues due to heat accumulation.
3. Other performance advantages:
-Good dimensional stability: Carbon fiber restricts ABS molecular chain movement, improving dimensional stability. Ensures accuracy and stability in high-precision parts manufacturing, reducing assembly problems from dimensional changes.
-Lightweight: Despite carbon fiber addition, “ABS CF15 Plastic Granules” is relatively low in density. Has a significant lightweight advantage over metals, useful in fields like aerospace and automobiles for reducing weight, lowering energy consumption, and improving equipment performance.
-Good processing performance: Inherits ABS plastic’s good processing capabilities. Can be molded by common methods like injection and extrusion for large-scale production and complex shape manufacturing.
