LFT-G® LCF40-PA66 BC04B Polymer

What Is PA66 LCF40?

 

What Is PA66 LCF40? LFT-G® PA66 LCF40 is a grade of PA66 that contains 40% by weight of long carbon fibers. This unique combination of a high-performance polymer and long carbon fibers provides LCF40 with superior physical and mechanical properties compared to standard short fiber reinforced grades of PA66.

In recent times, there has been growing interest in improving the mechanical and thermal properties of PA66 through the incorporation of various additives and fillers. An exciting development in this area is the use of long carbon fiber (LCF) to reinforce PA66, resulting in a material with enhanced performance and stability.PA66 LCF40 exhibits high tensile and flexural strength, excellent stiffness, and low warpage and shrinkage.

 

Properties of PA66 LCF40 Polymer

The long carbon fibers in PA66 LCF40 Polymer improve the mechanical properties of the polymer in two key ways. First, they enhance the strength and stiffness of the PA66 matrix by reinforcing the polymer chains. Second, they improve the interfacial adhesion between the carbon fibers and the polymer matrix, resulting in a material that is highly resistant to delamination and cracking.

Applications of PA66 LCF40 Polymer:

PA66 LCF40 polymer has numerous applications in various industries, including automotive, aerospace, and sporting goods. In the automotive industry, PA66 LCF40 polymer is used to manufacture structural parts such as brake pedals, bumpers, and engine mounts.
