Processing Information
To unlock the full potential of LFT-G® PA6 CF40, precise control of the injection molding process is crucial. As a polyamide-based reinforced polymer, proper pre-drying is essential to prevent hydrolysis. Processing at elevated melt and mold temperatures is required to ensure a homogeneous melt and preserve the integrity of the long carbon fiber network.

Why choose Long Carbon fiber and not short fiber?
The choice between long and short carbon fiber is critical for achieving high performance. A long carbon fiber composite 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
- Extreme Strength & High Modulus
- Outstanding Lightweight Potential
- Superior Fatigue & Creep Resistance
- Excellent Dimensional Stability & Low Shrinkage
- Good Wear Resistance and Low Friction
- Inherent Electrical Conductivity for ESD
