Polyamide polymers (long fiber modified nylon) are mainly used in the automotive industry as the following components: ①The radiator is a large product made of glass fiber reinforced polyamide. After replacing the original metal material with polyamide, the weight of the product can be greatly reduced. ②The pulley is a product made of glass fiber reinforced polyamide added with graphite. After rep...

Glass-filled polymers are strong and have strong mechanical properties. First, the analytical strength is generally interpreted from the three dimensions of tensile strength, flexural strength and impact strength. For example, glass fiber filled PP, the obtained PP GF polymer, the higher the glass fiber content, the better the performance, we can refer to the following TDS, from the following tabl...

The thigh prosthesis is composed of a receiving cavity, a knee joint and a connector, among which the receiving cavity is the connecting part of the stump and the prosthesis, and its constituent materials have a great influence on the experience of use. There are three main materials used to make prosthetic chambers: resin, PP sheet and carbon fiber. Each receiving cavity has different characteris...

Fiber reinforced plastics is one of the most common reinforced plastics. Fiber reinforced plastics usually have the following characteristics. High strength and high modulus The quantity strength and modulus of fiber reinforced are obviously improved. Such as some general plastics after reinforcement, can also be used in engineering plastics; Some engineering plastics, through fiber reinforcement,...

High temperature resistant nylon refers to the nylon material that can be used in the environment above 150℃ for a long time. The melting point is generally 290℃~320℃, and it maintains excellent mechanical properties in a wide temperature range and high humidity environment. High temperature resistant nylon has good wear resistance, heat resistance, oil resistance and chemical resistance. Compared...

Invention of nylon Nylon (Nylon), named Polyamide in English, is a man-made polymer. Wallace Carothers of DuPont invented the plastic on February 28, 1935, in Wilmington, USA. Nylon was officially marketed in 1938. The first nylon products were nylon brushes for toothbrushes (sold on February 24, 1938) and nylon stockings for women (sold on May 15, 1940). The appearance of nylon makes the textile ...

Polypropylene (PP) is divided into homopolymer polypropylene (PP-H), block (impact resistance) copolymer polypropylene (PP-B) and random (random) copolymer polypropylene (PP-R), so what are the advantages and disadvantages of all kinds of PP? I'll share it with you here. 1. Homopolymer polypropylene (PP-H) It is made by polymerization of a single propylene monomer. The molecular chain does not con...

Nylon is a high performance polymer material in traditional industry. Nylon has also become one of the most widely used materials in 3D printing. PA6, PA11, PA12, PA66 and so on often appear in the available materials for 3D printing. In form, it is divided into powder materials which can be used for powder bed 3D printing technology, such as selective laser sintering (SLS) and multi-jet fusion (M...

What is PA12-LCF? PA12-LCF is a thermoplastic material, belonging to the nylon class. PA12-LCF is based on nylon 12, which has 12 carbon atoms in each polymer repeat unit. Nylon 12 is also known as polyamide 12 or PA12. It is a semi-crystalline material with a high melting point (180°C) and a low moisture absorption rate (0.5%). It is also resistant to chemicals, wear and impact. PA12-LCF is a mod...

Glass fiber is a very common material in the chemical industry, often used in the production of reinforced plastics or reinforced rubber. Due to Glass Fiber has high temperature resistance, flame retardant, corrosion resistance, heat insulation, high tensile strength, good insulation characteristics, raw materials after adding glass fiber can significantly improve the heat resistance and mechanica...

Mold temperature too low Cause: If the mold temperature is too low, the melt cools too quickly during flow, causing the glass fibers to not be fully encapsulated by the base resin and float to the surface. Solution: Increase the mold temperature appropriately to ensure the melt has sufficient fluidity to uniformly coat the glass fibers. Regularly check the mold temperature control system to ensure...

Introduction Fiber-reinforced polymer composites, due to their lightweight and high-strength characteristics, have found applications in many fields, especially in the transportation sector, where they can effectively reduce vehicle weight and better achieve energy savings and emission reductions. Among them, long glass fiber (LGF) reinforced polyamide materials (PA/LGF) are widely used in the man...
