PA66 CF represents an advanced engineering composite that combines the robust characteristics of Polyamide 66 with high-performance carbon fiber reinforcement. This material solution delivers exceptional mechanical properties and thermal stability for mission-critical applications across automotive, industrial, electronics, and aerospace sectors.
1.Enhanced Thermal Performance
PA66 CF maintains structural integrity at continuous operating temperatures up to 220°C, with heat deflection temperature (HDT) reaching 255°C at 1.82 MPa. This thermal resistance exceeds standard PA66 by 40%, making it ideal for under-hood automotive components and high-temperature electrical systems.
2.Superior Mechanical Strength
The carbon fiber reinforcement provides:
*Tensile strength: 320 MPa
*Flexural modulus: 18 GPa
*Impact resistance 3x greater than unfilled PA66
These properties enable thinner, lighter designs without compromising structural requirements.
3.Weight Reduction Benefits
With a density of 1.38 g/cm³, PA66 CF components achieve 50-60% weight savings versus metal alternatives while maintaining equivalent strength characteristics. This advantage proves particularly valuable in automotive lightweighting and portable electronics applications.
4.Chemical Compatibility
Demonstrates excellent resistance to:
*Automotive fluids (oil, coolant, brake fluid)
*Industrial solvents
*Weak acids/alkalis
This chemical stability ensures long-term performance in aggressive environments.
1.Automotive Engineering
*Engine peripheral components
*Transmission system parts
*Structural reinforcement elements
PA66 CF contributes to vehicle weight reduction programs while meeting stringent automotive safety standards.
Electrical & Electronics
*High-temperature connectors
*Miniature circuit housings
*EMI shielding components
The material’s combination of dielectric properties and EMI shielding effectiveness (60-80 dB) addresses growing needs in 5G infrastructure and EV power systems.
Industrial Equipment
*High-wear gear components
*Chemical processing fixtures
*Robotic arm segments
PA66 CF withstands continuous mechanical stress while resisting chemical degradation in industrial environments.
Technical Development
Ongoing material innovations focus on:
*Increasing carbon fiber loading to 40%
*Developing laser-direct structuring (LDS) capabilities
*Optimizing flow characteristics for thin-wall molding
These advancements will further expand PA66 CF’s application potential in next-generation manufacturing.
