40% Long Carbon Fiber Reinforced Nylon 12 (PA12 LCF40)

Product Overview

PA12 LCF40 is a high-performance engineering thermoplastic designed for lightweight structural applications. Compared to traditional short fiber reinforced materials, long carbon fibers significantly improve rigidity, fatigue resistance, and creep performance while maintaining good processability and stable dimensional accuracy. The PA12 base itself features low moisture absorption, making it ideal for humid or outdoor environments.
 

Technical Specifications

  • Base Resin: Nylon 12 (PA12 / Polyamide 12)

  • Carbon Fiber Content: 40% Long Carbon Fiber (LCF)

  • Tensile Strength: 260 MPa

  • Flexural Strength: 380 MPa

  • Notched Impact Strength (23°C): 25 kJ/m²

  • Density: approx. 1.20 g/cm³

  • Moisture Absorption: < 0.3%

  • Color: Black

 

Applications

PA12 LCF40 is ideal for applications that require high rigidity and long-term durability:

  • Automotive: Structural frames, battery module holders, lightweight metal-replacement components.
  • Sports Equipment: Bicycle parts, ski bindings, racket structural parts.
  • Aerospace / Drones: Internal structural frames, propeller mounts, shaft supports for small UAVs.
