What is PA66 CF30 ?
LFT-G® BC03B PA66 CF30 is a 30% long carbon fiber reinforced polyamide66(nylon66) Compound, also called nylon66 carbon fiber material. This carbon reinforced plastic combines the superior thermal and chemical resistance of a polyamide 66 matrix with a 30% loading of long carbon fiber. This reinforced polymer offers a significant leap in performance over standard engineering plastics, providing an excellent balance of high strength, stiffness, and low weight. The PA66 CF30 grade is a versatile solution for durable components in automotive, industrial, and consumer electronics applications where high performance is a key requirement.
What is the difference between PA46 and PA66?
PA46 and PA66 are both high-performance polyamides, but PA46 generally offers a higher heat deflection temperature (HDT) and better stiffness retention at elevated temperatures. However, PA66 typically provides better long-term thermal stability and superior resistance to hydrolysis. The choice between them depends on the specific demands of the application, especially regarding peak temperature exposure versus long-term heat aging performance.

FAQ
Q: Does PA66 absorb water?
A: Yes, PA66 is hygroscopic and will absorb moisture from the environment, though typically less than PA6. That is why pre-drying our LFT-G®PA66 CF30 pellets before molding is critical to achieve optimal mechanical properties and a high-quality surface finish.
Q:What's Part PA66 CF30 can be used for ?
A: Our LFT-G®PA66 CF30 can be used for many high-stress components, such as a Pa66 cf30 Radiator end tank, which requires excellent heat and chemical resistance. Other uses include structural brackets, pump housings, and fan blades.
Q: Can PA66 be recycled?
A: Yes, as a thermoplastic, this PA66 can be recycled. The process involves collecting, shredding, and re-compounding the material, although the properties of the recycled material may differ from the virgin composite.
