PA6-LCF is a reinforced nylon composite with carbon fiber enhancement, offering high tensile strength and improved stiffness while maintaining excellent dimensional stability. This material features low moisture absorption and good chemical resistance, making it suitable for demanding applications in automotive, industrial, and electrical components that require lightweight yet durable solutions.
Moisture Absorption: 0.08–0.12% — Very low, ensuring stable part dimensions
Chemical Resistance: Excellent — Resists fuels, oils, acids, bases, and industrial solvents
Maintains mechanical and dimensional stability in humid or chemically harsh environments.
Molding Methods: Injection molding
Surface Finish: Matte to slightly rough; possible fiber visibility
Tooling Requirements: Hardened steel molds recommended; moderate tool wear expected Lower flowability than standard PA6, but suitable for structural parts with optimized wall thickness. Processing should be adjusted to maintain fiber alignment for best performance.
Automotive & Mobility
Engine brackets, pump housings, transmission supports
High strength, heat resistance, and chemical stability for metal replacement in demanding conditions.
Electronics & Electrical
Battery housings, connector housings, power module frames
Ensures rigidity and precision under thermal and mechanical stress.
Industrial Machinery
Gear components, robotic arms, sensor mounts
Ideal for high-load, high-precision parts in corrosive or high-temperature environments.
PA6 LCF (long carbon fiber reinforced) provides significantly higher mechanical strength and rigidity than standard PA6. The carbon fiber reinforcement improves tensile strength, flexural strength, and wear resistance, making PA6 LCF ideal for heavy-duty and high-performance applications. While standard PA6 is suitable for general-purpose use, PA6 LCF delivers enhanced durability for demanding industrial environments.

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.
