LFT-G® LCF50-PA66 BC05B Composite

PA66 is a commonly used thermoplastic material in various applications due to its excellent properties. Hence, it is widely used in the automotive industry, electrical and electronic equipment, machinery, and consumer goods. Besides PA66, long carbon fiber (LCF) is another material that is known for its high strength and stiffness. When these two materials are combined, PA66 LCF50 composite is formed, which exhibits excellent mechanical properties.

What Is PA66 LCF50?

 

What Is PA66 LCF50? LFT-G® PA66 LCF50 composite is essentially a blend of PA66 polymer and 50% weight fraction of long carbon fibers. The long carbon fibers reinforcing the polymer matrix of PA66 composite provide improved mechanical characteristics. LCF enhances the stiffness and strength of the composite, providing excellent fatigue resistance, creep resistance, and dimensional stability to the composite.PA66 LCF50 composite offers excellent fatigue and creep resistance, thermal stability, and dimensional stability, making it a go-to material in various industries.

 

 

Properties of PA66 LCF50 composite

The properties of PA66 LCF50 composite can be considered superior to those of the unfilled PA66. Here are the properties that make it stand out as a high-performance material:

1. Increased stiffness and strength: The incorporation of LCF into PA66 improves the strength, specifically the flexural and tensile strength, and stiffness of the composite. PA66 LCF50 composite exhibits a flexural modulus ranging from 13 to 16 GPa and a tensile modulus of 16-20 GPa.

2. Fatigue and Creep Resistance: PA66 LCF50 composite exhibits excellent fatigue and creep resistance due to its higher stiffness and strength compared to unfilled PA66, providing better durability in cyclic loading applications.

3. Improved Thermal Properties: The incorporation of LCF into PA66 not only improves its mechanical properties but also improves the thermal stability and dimensional stability of the composite.

4. Lightweight: The composite's incorporation of LCF reduces the weight of the material considerably, making it an ideal material for lightweight applications.
