What is ABS? 1. ABS plastic is a thermoplastic polymer structural material, mainly through propylene, butadiene and other chemical substances synthetic polymer material, also known as ABS resin, because of its good heat resistance, impact resistance, processing, so the use of a wide range. 2. Because ABS plastic is very hard, it has strong impact resistance, scratch resistance, dimensional stability and other properties, and has the characteristics of moisture, corrosion resistance, easy processing, etc., it is an ideal material. 3. ABS material also has good light transmission, compared with the same transparency of acrylic, although it has better toughness, the price is relatively high, and the color is not more than the color of acrylic, generally beige, black, transparent three colors. 4. ABS material is also very environmentally friendly, due to the use of environmentally friendly chemicals, so non-toxic and odorless, but also with electrical insulation, is a very safe material. 5. ABS material is easy to deform in a high temperature environment, and the deformation temperature is 93-118 degrees Celsius, but it performs very well in a low temperature environment, so it is also a high temperature resistant material. What Are the Advantages of ABS Plastics? ABS has some major advantages as a general-purpose engineering material. Below is a brief list of some of ABS plastic's advantages: ABS is inexpensive and plentiful, coming in many colors, material characteristics, and forms (pellets, tubes, bar, filament, etc.). ABS is sturdy, lightweight, and ductile, being easily machined but retaining good resistance to chemicals, impacts, and abrasions. ABS is more heat-resistant than other thermoplastics in its weight class and can withstand multiple cycles of heating/cooling, making it a fully recyclable plastic. ABS can achieve a highly attractive finish and is readily paintable. ABS has low heat and electrical conductivity. Compared with PLA Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) was first patented in 1948 and commercialized in 1954 by the Borg-Warner Corporation. It is an amorphous thermoplastic polymer where the molecular structure is disordered. ABS is commonly manufactured via the polymerization of styrene and acrylonitrile. ABS is a tougher plastic than PLA. It can be used for applications that require significant strength and impact resistance. The Advantages of ABS Compared to PLA? ABS has a higher glass transition temperature than PLA. ABS is generally tougher than PLA. It can withstand impact loads and has better abrasion resistance.  PLA vs. ABS: Applications Comparison PLA is not widely used for typical consumer and industrial applications. It is mostly used for 3D printing in hobbyist applications or prototyping but has found some applications in the biomedical industry. ABS, on the other hand, is used as an engineering plastic across almost every industry. It is preferred for applications requiring toughness and impact resistance. PLA vs. ABS: Part Accuracy Comparison PLA is a very easy material to 3D print and it produces parts that are dimensionally stable. ABS, on the other hand, tends to warp easily during printing. PLA vs. ABS: Speed Comparison Both PLA and ABS can print at rates from 45 to 60 mm/s.  PLA vs. ABS: Surface Comparison 3D-printed PLA and ABS have the common FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling) surface finish with visible layer lines. However, ABS can be vapor smoothed with solvents like acetone while PLA must be hand sanded for optimal surface finish. The vapor smoothing process melts the surface, giving it a smooth and homogeneous finish. PLA vs. ABS: Heat Resistance Comparison PLA has poor heat resistance when compared to ABS. PLA will begin to soften at 60 °C whereas ABS does not begin to soften until 105 °C.  PLA vs. ABS: Biodegradability Comparison PLA is a bioplastic and biodegradable under the correct conditions. Unfortunately, these conditions are only present in industrial composting facilities. The required conditions include high temperatures and exposure to specific microbial environments. PLA can take up to 80 years to fully decompose in nature. ABS, on the other hand, is not biodegradable and can take hundreds of years to fully decompose.  PLA vs. ABS: Toxicity Comparison PLA is generally recognized as safe and non-toxic after printing. During printing, PLA releases VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds). As such, it is not recommended to print PLA in an unventilated area. However, these VOCs are low in concentration and ventilation is just an added precaution. ABS contains no known carcinogens and has no adverse health effects once printed. However, ABS also releases dangerous VOCs and nanoparticles (UPFs) during printing, far more than is the case with PLA. As such, it is advised to cover printers with a hood and to utilize a ventilation duct. PLA vs. ABS: Cost Comparison PLA and ABS are among the lowest-cost materials used in 3D printing. Both can be pu...

What is PA6 plastic? polyamide (PA), usually called Nylon, is a hetero-chain polymer containing amide group (-NHCo -) in the main chain. It can be divided into aliphatic group and aromatic group. It is the earliest developed and the most used thermoplastic engineering material. Polyamide main chain contains many repeated amide group, used as a plastic called nylon, used as a synthetic fiber called nylon. A variety of different polyamides can be prepared according to the number of carbon atoms contained in binary amines and dibasic acids or amino acids. At present, there are dozens of polyamides, among which polyamide-6, polyamide-66 and polyamide-610 are the most widely used. Polyamide-6 is an aliphatic polyamide, with light weight, strong strength, wear resistance, weak acid and alkali resistance and some organic solvents, easy molding and processing and other excellent properties, widely used in fiber, engineering plastics and thin films and other fields, but PA6 molecular chain segment contains strong polarity amide groups, easy to form hydrogen bonds with water molecules, The product has the disadvantages of large water absorption, poor dimensional stability, low impact strength in dry state and low temperature, strong acid and alkali resistance. Advantages of nylon 6: High mechanical strength, good toughness, high tensile and compressive strength. Outstanding fatigue resistance, the parts after repeated bending can still maintain the original mechanical strength. High softening point, heat resistant. Smooth surface, small friction coefficient, wear-resistant. Corrosion resistance, very resistant to alkali and most salts, also resistant to weak acids, oil, gasoline, aromatic compounds and general solvents, aromatic compounds are inert, but not resistant to strong acids and oxidants. It can resist the corrosion of gasoline, oil, fat, alcohol, alkaline and so on, and has good anti-aging ability. It is self-extinguishing, non-toxic, odorless, good weather resistance, inert to biological erosion, and has good antibacterial and mildew resistance. Has excellent electrical performance, good electrical insulation, nylon volume resistance is high, high breakdown voltage resistance, in dry environment, can work frequency insulation material, even in high humidity environment still has good electrical insulation. Light weight, easy dyeing, easy forming, because of low melting viscosity, can flow quickly. Disadvantages of Nylon 6: Easy to absorb water, water absorption, saturated water can reach more than 3%. Poor light resistance, in the long-term high temperature environment will oxidize with oxygen in the air, the color turns brown at the beginning, and the subsequent surface is broken and cracked. Injection molding technology requirements more strict, the existence of trace moisture will cause great damage to the quality of molding; The dimensional stability of the product is difficult to control because of thermal expansion. The existence of sharp Angle in the product will lead to stress concentration and reduce the mechanical strength; If the wall thickness is not uniform, it will lead to the distortion and deformation of the parts. High precision of equipment is required in post-processing. Will absorb water, alcohol and swelling, not resistant to strong acid and oxidant, can not be used as acid-resistant materials. Why filling Long Glass Fiber? PA6 has excellent properties such as light weight, strong strength, abrasion resistance, weak acid and alkali resistance and some organic solvents, and easy molding and processing. It is widely used in the fields of fibers, engineering plastics and films. However, the molecular chain segment of PA6 contains highly polar amide groups, which are easy to form hydrogen bonds with water molecules. The product has the disadvantages of large water absorption, poor dimensional stability, low impact strength in dry state and low temperature, strong acid and alkali resistance. With the development of science and technology and the improvement of life quality, the defects in some properties of traditional PA6 materials have limited its development in some fields. In order to improve the performance of PA6 and expand its application field, PA6 should be modified. Filling enhancement modification is a common method for physical modification of PA6. It refers to the modification of PA6 by adding fillers such as glass fiber and carbon fiber into the matrix to significantly improve the mechanical properties, flame retardant properties, thermal conductivity and dimensional stability of the material. What is application of PA6-LGF? Modified section of 30% long glass fiber reinforced PA6 is the ideal material for processing power tool shell, power tool parts, engineering machinery parts and automobile parts. Its mechanical properties, dimensional stability, heat resistance and aging resistance have been significantly improved. The fatigue resistance strength is 2.5 times that of unenha...

Nylon 6 or PA 6 Has a semi-crystalline structure and is used for nonwoven fabrics Ductility and Abrasion resistance What Are the Advantages of Nylon 6? The main advantages of nylon 6 are its stiffness and resistance to abrasion. Moreover, this material has excellent impact strength, wear resistance, and electrical insulating properties. Nylon 6 is a highly elastic and fatigue-resistant material, meaning it will return to its original proportions after being distorted by tension. This polyamide is non-toxic and can be combined with glass or carbon fibers to increase performance. The absorption capacity of the material grows in direct proportion to the quantity of moisture it absorbs. The high affinity of nylon 6 for some dyestuffs allows for more dyeing diversity, with the potential for brighter, deeper patterns. Can Nylon 6 Be Used in Plastic Injection Molding? Yes, Nylon 6 is a suitable material for injection molding. The resulting molded nylon parts possess great strength, as well as chemical and temperature resistance. When molding nylon 6, the material is sometimes injected with a specified amount of glass fibers (usually between 20% and 60%) to boost its tensile strength. Glass fibers improve stiffness. Moreover, since UV radiation can be harmful to nylon, a UV stabilizer is frequently added to the material before injection molding to decrease the possible degradation of the item with time. Is Nylon 6 a Copolymer? No, nylon 6 is not a copolymer. The clue is in the name “nylon 6” in which the 6 represents the single repeating monomer which has 6 carbon atoms. Nylon 6 is made through the polymerization of a monomer named caprolactam. Nylon 6 is not to be confused with nylon 6,6 which is made of two repeating monomers hexamethylenediamine and adipic acid; this makes it a copolymer. Two other nylons are also copolymers; they are nylon 6,12 and nylon 4,6. Why filling Long Glass Fiber into Polyamide 6? Long glass fiber reinforced composites can solve your problems when other methods of reinforced plastics do not provide the performance you need or if you want to replace metal with plastic. Long glass fiber reinforced composites can cost-effectively reduce the cost of goods and effectively improve the mechanical properties of engineering polymer .Long fibers can be uniformly distributed inside the product to form a network skeleton, thus improving the mechanical properties of the material product.

PA12 information Long carbon chain nylon is a nylon with amide group in the main chain repeating unit of nylon molecule, and the length of methylene group between two amide groups is more than 10. We call it as long carbon chain nylon, including nylon 11, nylon 12, etc.. PA12 is nylon 12, also known as poly(dodecalactam) and poly(laurolactam), which is a kind of long carbon chain nylon. The basic raw material for polymerization is butadiene, a semi-crystalline - crystalline thermoplastic material. Nylon 12 is the most widely used long carbon chain nylon, it has most of the general properties of nylon, in addition to low water absorption, and has high dimensional stability, high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, good toughness, easy processing and other advantages. Compared with PA11, another long carbon chain nylon material, PA12's raw material butadiene is only one-third the price of PA11's raw material castor oil, and can be used in most scenarios instead of PA11, and has wide applications in many fields such as automotive fuel hoses, air brake hoses, submarine cables, and 3D printing. Among long-chain nylon, PA12 has great advantages compared with other nylon materials, its advantages are the lowest water absorption, lowest density, low melting point, impact resistance, friction resistance, low temperature resistance, fuel resistance, good dimensional stability, good anti-noise effect, etc. PA12 has the properties of PA6, PA66 and polyolefin (PE, PP) at the same time, to achieve the combination of lightweight and physical and chemical properties, with performance It has the advantages of light weight and physical and chemical properties. PA12-LCF If the base material is compared to concrete, the fiber is like steel reinforcement, and mixing the two is like adding steel reinforcement to concrete. If there is only concrete, the castings will easily crack under external forces, but once the high-strength reinforcement is added to it and the concrete wraps it sufficiently, they will become a single unit. When the object is subjected to external forces, the rebar can withstand most of the external forces, making the structural strength of this whole very high. Carbon fiber has many excellent properties, high axial strength and modulus of carbon fiber, low density, high specific performance, no creep, resistance to ultra-high temperature in non-oxidizing environment, good fatigue resistance, specific heat and electrical conductivity between non-metal and metal, small coefficient of thermal expansion and anisotropy, good corrosion resistance, good X-ray transmittance. Good electrical and thermal conductivity, good electromagnetic shielding, etc. Compared with traditional glass fiber, carbon fiber has more than 3 times of Young's modulus; it is about 2 times of Young's modulus compared with Kevlar fiber, which is insoluble and swollen in organic solvents, acids and alkalis, and has outstanding corrosion resistance. Nylon itself is an engineering plastic with excellent performance, but moisture absorption, poor dimensional stability of products. Strength and hardness is also far from metal. In order to overcome these shortcomings, as early as before the 70s. People have used carbon fiber or other varieties of fibers for reinforcement to improve its performance. Carbon fiber reinforced nylon materials have developed rapidly in recent years, because nylon and carbon fiber are excellent performance in the field of engineering plastics materials, its compound material synthesis reflects the superiority of the two, such as strength and rigidity than unreinforced nylon is much higher, high temperature creep is small, thermal stability has improved significantly, good dimensional accuracy, wear resistance. Excellent damping, compared with glass fiber reinforced has better performance. Therefore, carbon fiber reinforced nylon (CF/PA) composites have developed rapidly in recent years. Datasheet for reference Nylon 12 has low water absorption, good low temperature resistance, good air tightness, excellent alkali and grease resistance, medium resistance to alcohols and inorganic dilute acids and aromatics, good mechanical and electrical properties, and is a self-extinguishing material.

PPA plastic PPA is made by polycondensation of aliphatic diamine or diamine with benzene ring-containing diamine or diamine. Compared to aliphatic polyamides, the introduction of a rigid benzene ring in the molecular chain results in a significant increase in mechanical strength and heat resistance, as well as a significant decrease in water absorption. Compared with aromatic polyamides, semi-aromatic polyamides have more flexible aliphatic structures in the molecular weight and lower melting points, which effectively improves the processing performance of aromatic polyamides. Because PPA has both the excellent performance of aromatic polyamide and aliphatic polyamide good molding processability, after years of development has become one of the most important varieties of special engineering plastics, is widely used in electronic and electrical appliances, automotive industry and other fields.
