Mechanical Properties
ABS-CF5 is engineered for improved mechanical performance with 5% carbon fiber content. While not as stiff or strong as higher carbon fiber composites, it provides enhanced strength and wear resistance over standard unreinforced ABS, making it suitable for moderate mechanical loads and stress.
Tensile Strength: ≥ 50 MPa
Flexural Strength: ≥ 80 MPa
Impact Strength: ≥ 2.0 kJ/m²
With a 5% carbon fiber reinforcement, ABS-CF5 offers a significant boost in mechanical properties, making it ideal for applications that require moderate strength and wear resistance.
Thermal and Chemical Resistance
ABS-CF5 retains the thermal and chemical stability of pure ABS, though its performance may not reach the level of higher carbon fiber reinforced materials. It performs well in environments that are exposed to moderate temperatures and chemical conditions.
Heat Deflection Temperature (HDT): Approx. 100°C
Long-Term Service Temperature: Up to 100°C
Chemical Resistance: Good resistance to oils, fuels, solvents, and other chemicals (but not as robust as higher reinforced composites)
ABS-CF5 excels in standard thermal and chemical conditions, making it suitable for many industrial and automotive applications.
Wear Resistance and Processing
ABS-CF5 offers enhanced wear resistance over unreinforced ABS, though its performance under high friction is not as impressive as higher carbon fiber versions. It remains easy to process with standard thermoplastic methods.
Wear Resistance: Improved over unreinforced ABS, but not as exceptional under extreme conditions
Processing Methods: Suitable for injection molding and extrusion
Its durability and processability make ABS-CF5 ideal for moderate duty industrial and consumer applications.
Environmental Adaptability
ABS-CF5 features low moisture absorption and good dimensional stability, ensuring reliable performance in environments with mild temperature and humidity fluctuations.
Water Absorption: Low
Dimensional Stability: Good, though may not be as stable as higher carbon fiber reinforced materials
ABS-CF5 delivers reliable performance under typical environmental conditions, making it versatile for many applications.
Applications
ABS-CF5 is engineered for applications that require improved mechanical properties, wear resistance, and moderate chemical stability. Common applications include:
Automotive: Moderate load components such as trim, covers, and housing parts.
Industrial Manufacturing: Light to medium-duty parts like electrical components, brackets, and housings.
Electronics: Protective covers and housings for devices subject to mechanical stress.
Consumer Goods: Parts requiring moderate strength and wear resistance.
