30% Long Carbon Fiber Reinforced Nylon 6 (LFT-PA6-CF30-BC03B)
This is the intersection of strength and technology. Our LFT-PA6-CF30-BC03B composite leverages the high-performance Nylon 6 (PA6) matrix and reinforces it with 30% long carbon fiber. The result is a high-performance material engineered for true metal replacement, offering exceptional stiffness, high strength, and superior thermal performance in a lightweight package. In short, this page details an engineering solution for ultimate lightweighting and performance (LFT-PA6-CF30-BC03B) - blending the structural power of 30% long carbon fiber with the strength and thermal resistance of a Nylon 6 matrix, ideal for next-generation structural auto parts, industrial robotics, and professional sporting goods.
Q: What is carbon fiber nylon 6?
A: It is a high-performance composite where a strong and heat-resistant Nylon 6 (PA6) polymer is reinforced with carbon fiber. Our long carbon fiber grade (LFT-PA6-CF30) creates an exceptionally stiff and strong material, making it a powerful choice for metal replacement in demanding auto parts and industrial robotics.
Q: What are the advantages of PA6 CF30?
A: The primary advantage is an incredible stiffness-to-weight ratio. It delivers the rigidity of aluminum at a significantly lower weight, along with excellent strength, good thermal performance, and the design freedom of injection molding. It bridges the gap between high-end glass fiber composites and more expensive materials.
Q: Is carbon fiber nylon conductive?
A: Yes, carbon fiber composites like LFT-PA6-CF30 are electrically conductive. This makes them an excellent choice for applications requiring EMI/RFI shielding, such as electronics housings, and for preventing static discharge. This property should be considered during the design phase of any electrical application.

Case Study: Automotive Cross-Car Beam
The Challenge
An automotive OEM was designing a new electric vehicle and needed to significantly reduce the weight of the instrument panel assembly. The core structural component, the cross-car beam, was traditionally made from magnesium or a multi-piece steel assembly. The challenge was to find a thermoplastic composite that could match the high stiffness and load-bearing requirements of the metal beam while enabling a single-piece, lightweight design.
The Solution: LFT-PA6-CF30-BC03B
Our 30% long carbon fiber Nylon 6 composite was the breakthrough solution. Its exceptional modulus (~19,000 MPa) provided the rigidity needed to support the entire instrument panel, airbag system, and steering column without flex. The long fiber structure also provided excellent creep resistance, ensuring long-term dimensional stability. By using injection molding, the OEM could integrate numerous brackets and attachment points directly into the beam, drastically simplifying the assembly process.
Result: A 45% weight reduction compared to the magnesium beam, consolidation of 10 separate parts into one, and superior NVH (vibration damping) performance.
