FR Nylon CF is a high-performance composite material mainly composed of a nylon (PA) matrix and carbon fiber (CF). The FR Nylon CF products launched this time include the PA66&PA6 CF30 grade, with a carbon fiber content of 30%. The nylon matrix (PA66 and PA6) endows the material with good toughness and processing fluidity, while the carbon fiber significantly enhances its strength and rigidity. Meanwhile, the product meets the V0, V1, and V2 flame retardant grades, enabling FR Nylon CF to have reliable flame retardant effects while possessing mechanical properties.
1.
The carbon fiber in FR Nylon CF works in synergy with the PA66&PA6 CF30 matrix. Its tensile strength can reach more than 180MPa, and the flexural modulus exceeds 8000MPa, which is far superior to ordinary nylon materials and can meet the high load-bearing requirements of structural parts.
2.
This FR Nylon CF product has passed the UL94 flame retardant test, covering V0, V1, and V2 grades. Among them, the V0 grade can extinguish the flame within 10 seconds without dripping, making it suitable for the electronics and electrical fields with strict fire protection requirements. The PA66&PA6 CF30 matrix also ensures the stability of flame retardant performance.
3.
The heat distortion temperature (HDT, 1.82MPa) of FR Nylon CF exceeds 200℃. The PA66 component in PA66&PA6 CF30 further improves heat resistance, allowing it to maintain structural stability under high-temperature working conditions, which is suitable for applications in high-temperature environments such as around automobile engines.
4.
The addition of carbon fiber significantly reduces the molding shrinkage rate of FR Nylon CF. The shrinkage rate of the PA66&PA6 CF30 grade is controlled between 0.5% and 1.2%, which effectively reduces product warpage and ensures the dimensional accuracy of precision parts.
FR Nylon CF and PA66&PA6 CF30 granules are widely used in electronics and electrical (such as connectors, circuit breaker housings), automotive industry (such as engine brackets, sensor housings), aerospace (small structural parts), and industrial equipment (such as gears, bearing seats) and other fields. They are especially suitable for scenarios that require high strength, flame retardancy, and heat resistance.
An electronic equipment manufacturer selected the PA66&PA6 CF30 V0 grade from the FR Nylon CF series to produce high-end connectors. The high rigidity of this material ensures that the connector is not easily deformed during plugging and unplugging, and the V0 flame retardant grade meets the safety standards of electronic equipment. At the same time, the low shrinkage rate ensures the accuracy of the pin spacing of the connector, solving the problems of easy warpage and insufficient flame retardancy of traditional materials, and improving the reliability and service life of the product.

The performance of different carbon fiber-reinforced modified thermoplastic composite raw materials will vary due to factors such as matrix resin, carbon fiber content and type, and production process. The advantages of specific composite materials need to be accurately evaluated based on actual application needs and comparative tests with specific carbon fiber-reinforced plastics. In addition, the performance of thermoplastic composite materials produced by different manufacturers may have different focuses and differences.
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).

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.

What are CF Reinforced Thermoplastic Composites?
CF Reinforced Thermoplastic Composites are materials where carbon fibers are incorporated into a thermoplastic matrix. They combine the strength and stiffness of carbon fibers with the processability and recyclability of thermoplastics. For instance, they are used in automotive parts like bumper beams.
What are the benefits of CF Reinforced Thermoplastic Composites over traditional composites?
The key benefits include faster production cycles, easier recyclability, and better impact resistance. They also offer design flexibility. An example is in the manufacturing of consumer electronics casings where complex shapes can be achieved more easily.
How are CF Reinforced Thermoplastic Composites processed?
Common processing methods include injection molding, extrusion, and compression molding. Injection molding is widely used for mass production. For example, in the production of small components for the medical industry.
What industries use CF Reinforced Thermoplastic Composites?
They are utilized in aerospace, automotive, medical, and sports equipment industries. In aerospace, they can be found in interior components. In the medical field, they might be used in prosthetics.
How does the carbon fiber content affect the properties of the composites?
Higher carbon fiber content generally leads to increased strength and stiffness but may reduce ductility. A moderate content is often balanced for specific applications. For example, a higher content might be preferred in structural parts of a race car.
What are the challenges in using CF Reinforced Thermoplastic Composites?
Challenges include higher material costs, complex processing equipment requirements, and ensuring uniform fiber dispersion. Issues with adhesion between the fibers and the matrix can also arise. An example is in achieving consistent quality in large-scale production.
