LFT-G® LCF30 PA12 Engineering Plastic
Material Identity
LCF30 PA12 is a high-performance composite material that is based on Polyamide 12 (PA12) and is prepared by incorporating approximately 30% long carbon fibers.
-
Material Type: Engineering Thermoplastic Composite
-
Base Resin: PA12 (Polyamide 12)
-
Reinforcement: 30% Long Carbon Fiber (LCF)
-
Structure Type: Long fiber structural composite
Its core objective is to achieve a level of rigidity and structural stability close to that of metals while maintaining a lightweight design.
Compared with short carbon fibers or glass fiber systems, the LCF structure forms a more continuous mechanical transmission network, significantly enhancing the material's performance in terms of load-bearing capacity, fatigue resistance and dimensional stability.
The LCF30 PA12's Advantage
Application Fields and Typical Components
Due to the fact that LCF30 PA12 can reduce the crack propagation path and enhance the overall structural consistency, it can be effectively applied in numerous industries.
From this, it can be seen that the LCF30 PA12 material is most commonly used in automotive components, and the proportion of its application in this industry is the highest.
Excluding the aforementioned automotive components, the LCF30 PA12 material and other applicable components are as follows:
Why choose LCF30 PA12?
When manufacturers in various industries choose this material as the production raw material, they usually do so based on engineering logic and the problems that can be solved:
-
"Lightweight + High Rigidity" is required
→ Replace metals or high-density engineering plastics -
"Long-term dimensional stability is required"
→ PA12 with low water absorption + Long carbon fiber structure stability -
"Integrated structural design" is required
→ Replace the multi-part metal welding/assembly structure -
Requires "High Fatigue Life" → Applicable to dynamic load environments (vibration/impact/cyclic stress)
