LFT-G® CPP-LCF50 (BC05B) | The Ultimate Metal Replacement PP CF50

LFT-G® 50% Long Carbon Fiber PP (Copo Grade)

LFT-G® CPP-LCF50 - Ultimate Carbon PPWhen standard plastics fail and aluminum is too heavy, LFT-G® CPP-LCF50 (Model: CPP-BC05B) is the answer. This is the pinnacle of our Polypropylene line, reinforced with a massive 50% Long Carbon Fiber content. By utilizing a high-impact Copolymer PP matrix, we prevent the brittleness often associated with such high fiber loading.

Designed for extreme metal replacement, this PP CF50 grade offers a flexural modulus exceeding 28 GPa-rivaling die-cast magnesium and aluminum alloys. It allows engineers to design ultra-thin, rigid structural parts that are 50% lighter than steel, with intrinsic EMI shielding and zero corrosion issues.

  • √ Ultimate Specific Stiffness: With a density of only ~1.22 g/cm³, it offers the highest stiffness-to-weight ratio in its class, surpassing traditional metals.
  • √ Cost-Effective Domestic Carbon: Leveraging high-quality national carbon fiber supply chains to make high-volume automotive and industrial applications commercially viable.
  • √ EMI & Static Discharge: The dense carbon network creates a highly conductive path (10² Ω), perfect for housing sensitive electronics without extra coating.

Extreme Rigidity Zones

🏎️

Racing Pedal Boxes

Sim-racing or performance cars. 50% Carbon Fiber ensures the pedal arm doesn't flex under heavy braking forces.

🦾

Robotic End Effectors

Industrial automation. Low inertia (lightweight) allows faster robot movement, while high stiffness ensures placement accuracy.

🔋

EV Battery Trays

Structural support for battery cells. LCF50 provides crash protection and EMI shielding for the high-voltage system.

People Also Ask (Google PAA)

1. Is PP CF50 stronger than aluminum?

A: In terms of Specific Strength (strength-to-weight ratio), YES. LFT-G® PP CF50 has a density of ~1.12 g/cm³, less than half of Aluminum (2.7 g/cm³). While Aluminum 6061 is stiffer in absolute terms (69 GPa vs 18 GPa), PP CF50 allows for thicker, ribbed designs that match the part's rigidity at a significantly lower weight and cost.

2. What is the density of 50% Carbon Fiber PP?

A: The density of LFT-G® CPP-LCF50 is approximately 1.12 - 1.15 g/cm³. This makes it heavier than unfilled PP (0.90 g/cm³) but drastically lighter than Glass Fiber PP (~1.35 g/cm³) or metals. This unique density allows for massive weight savings in automotive and aerospace parts.

3. Why choose 50% Carbon Fiber (CF50) over 30% (CF30)?

A: Choose CF50 when maximum stiffness is the priority. Jumping from 30% to 50% carbon fiber increases the Flexural Modulus from ~18 GPa to ~28 GPa. It also improves EMI shielding effectiveness due to the denser conductive network. However, CF30 typically has slightly better impact toughness.
