PA6 CF10 is a carbon fiber reinforced nylon composite that delivers exceptional tensile strength and enhanced rigidity while ensuring outstanding dimensional stability. With its low moisture absorption and excellent chemical resistance, this high-performance material is engineered for critical applications in automotive, industrial and electrical sectors where lightweight and durable solutions are essential.
Moisture Absorption: 0.08–0.12% — Extremely low, ensuring long-term dimensional stability.
Chemical Resistance: Outstanding — Resistant to fuels, oils, acids, alkalis, and industrial solvents.
Maintains superior mechanical properties and dimensional integrity even in humid or chemically aggressive environments.
Molding Methods: Injection molding (optimal for complex geometries).
Surface Finish: Smooth to slightly textured; minimal carbon fiber visibility.
Tooling Recommendations: Hardened steel molds preferred for extended tool life.
Slightly reduced flowability compared to standard PA6, but ideal for high-strength structural components with optimized wall thickness. Processing parameters should be fine-tuned to ensure proper fiber alignment for maximum performance.

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.
