What Is PA6 CF30 ?
LFT-G® BC03A PA6 CF30 is a 30% long carbon fiber (Toray's) reinforced polyamide6(nylon6) Compound. This high-performance carbon fiber reinforced plastic is engineered for applications demanding a superior balance of strength, high modulus, and low weight. By reinforcing a durable Polyamide 6 matrix with 30% long carbon fiber, this reinforced polymer provides a significant performance increase over short fiber versions, especially in impact strength and creep resistance. It is an ideal lightweight solution for replacing metal parts in automotive, industrial, and high-end sporting goods where structural integrity is critical.

Why choose Long Carbon fiber and not short fiber?
The choice between long and short carbon fiber is critical for performance. Long carbon fiber creates an internal skeletal network within the polymer, providing vastly superior impact strength, a higher modulus, and better creep resistance. This structure allows for more effective stress transfer along the fibers, resulting in a much tougher and more durable part compared to the random, disjointed nature of short fiber reinforcement, making it the superior choice to replace metal parts.
Benefits Filled Long Carbon fiber
- Exceptional Strength & High Modulus
- Extremely Lightweight for Metal Replacement
- Superior Fatigue & Creep Resistance
- Excellent Dimensional Stability & Low Shrinkage
- Good Wear Resistance and Low Friction
- Inherent Electrical Conductivity

FAQ
Is Carbon fiber nylon a plastic?
A: Yes, it is a type of high-performance `carbon fiber reinforced plastic`. The nylon (polyamide) is the plastic matrix, which is then reinforced with carbon fibers to create a composite like our LFT-G®PA6 CF30 with vastly superior properties.
Why is carbon fiber so expensive?
A: Carbon fiber production is an energy-intensive, complex process requiring specialized precursors and equipment. For our LFT-G®PA6 CF30, we use premium Toray fiber to ensure the highest quality, which also influences the cost of this elite material.
