Overview of Flame Retardant PA66-CF Composite
Flame Retardant PA66-CF is a thermoplastic composite composed of nylon 66 (PA66) as the matrix, carbon fiber (CF) as the reinforcement, and added flame retardants. This material combines the chemical resistance and processing ease of PA66 with the high strength and modulus of carbon fiber, while significantly improving fire safety through flame-retardant modification. It is widely used in electronics, aerospace, and automotive industries.
Key Performance Categories
-
Flame Retardancy
Flame Retardant PA66-CF achieves UL94 V-0 certification, with a limiting oxygen index (LOI) ≥28%, effectively suppressing flame spread and reducing smoke emission under high temperatures or open flames. -
Mechanical Properties
The addition of carbon fiber enhances tensile strength to 200-300 MPa and flexural modulus above 10 GPa, a 50%+ improvement over pure PA66, while maintaining excellent impact resistance. -
Thermal Stability
Heat deflection temperature (HDT) ≥220°C (1.82 MPa), with a long-term service temperature of up to 150°C, making it suitable for high-temperature environments. -
Lightweight & Processability
Density as low as 1.4-1.5 g/cm³, combined with injection molding advantages, enables mass production of complex structural parts.
Flame Retardant PA66-CF, with its synergistic performance advantages, is an ideal choice for high-demand applications.
Surface Resistivity Comparison
Conductors < 10⁵ Ω/sq. Antistatic Materials 10⁵ ~ 10¹² Ω/sq. Insulators > 10¹² Ω/sq. Static-Dissipative 10⁶ ~ 10¹¹ Ω/sq. *Key Influencing Factors Humidity: Increased moisture can reduce resistivity (e.g., in polymers). Temperature: Affects carrier mobility (↑ heat may lower semiconductor resistivity). Surface Contamination: Dust/oils alter readings significantly. Additives: Carbon black, metallic fillers can lower resistivity. *Applications Electronics: Antistatic materials (10⁶–10⁹ Ω/sq) prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD). Aerospace: Composites must control resistivity to avoid charge buildup. Medical Devices: Insulating materials (>10¹² Ω/sq) ensure patient safety. *Examples Polypropylene (PP): ~10¹⁶ Ω/sq (excellent insulator). Carbon Fiber Composites: 10³–10⁶ Ω/sq (static dissipation). ESD Flooring: 10⁶–10⁹ Ω/sq.
Get to Know Carbon Fibers
The table presents key performance data of carbon fiber grades. T300, with a tensile strength of 3530 MPa and a tensile modulus of 230 GPa, has a relatively low tensile elongation at break of 1.5% and a body density of 1.76 g/cm³. As the grade increases, for example, T700S shows an enhanced tensile strength of 4900 MPa compared to T300, while maintaining the same tensile modulus but with a higher elongation at break of 2.1%. T800S and T1000G both have a tensile modulus of 294 GPa, and their tensile strengths are 5880 MPa and 6370 MPa respectively. T1100G stands out with the highest tensile strength of 7000 MPa and a tensile modulus of 324 GPa. Generally, with the increase in product grade, the tensile strength and modulus tend to rise, while the density remains relatively stable around 1.8 g/cm³.
