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.

It is a class of rubber products with wide range of application, stable characteristics, good mechanical properties, high quality insulation, low density, easy processing and molding, self-extinguishing, and good wear resistance. Therefore, it is widely used in vehicles, electronic and electrical, chemical materials, industrial equipment, instrument panels, construction projects and other industries. However, it has high water absorption, poor alkali resistance, dry ultra-low temperature impact, low compressive strength and easy to deform after absorbing moisture, which affects the reliability of goods specifications. People have improved PA66 in a variety of ways, adding PA66 chemical fiber is one of them. After adding glass fiber, its impact force, heat deformation, material mechanical properties, molding processability and acid resistance are significantly improved. Glass fiber is a class of functional raw materials with high quality characteristics. This utility model has the advantages of low cost, non-combustibility, high temperature resistance, acid resistance, high tensile strength, high impact compressive strength, low tensile strength, high quality insulation properties, high quality insulation properties, etc. It is usually used as a raw material to improve organic chemical polymers or functional materials and composites. The most important hazard of proportional limits to raw materials is mechanical properties. The material mechanical properties of modified PA66 are also related to the composition of glass fibers. The tensile strength, bending strength and impact compression strength of PA66 increase with the glass fiber composition after the addition of PA66 chemical fibers. The tensile and flexural strengths of the managed system increased linearly, but the glass fiber composition was 30%. The trend of increasing tensile and flexural strengths showed some improvement. The results show that PA66 can produce a reasonable page layer, which can reasonably transfer the ground stress between the matrix and page, and thus improve the compressive strength of the matrix.

ABS material Acrylonitrile-butadiene styrene (ABS) resin is an opaque amorphous thermoplastic engineering plastic with complex two-phase structure. It is composed of styrene, acrylonitrile and butadiene in different proportions. In the 1970s, it began to be recognized by the public and began to be used. In the 1990s, the market demand grew rapidly. At present, it should be used in domestic and foreign markets, especially in construction, home appliances, automobiles and other industries.

PA6 material PA6 is one of the most widely used materials in the current field, and PA6 is a very good engineering plastic with balanced and good performance. The raw materials for the manufacture of nylon 6 engineering plastic are extensive and inexpensive, and it is not restricted by the technological monopoly of foreign companies. However, in order to make good use of this inexpensive and excellent material, we must first understand it. Today, we will start with glass fiber reinforced PA6 engineering plastics, because it is the most important category of PA6 engineering plastics. Just like any other engineering plastics, PA6 has advantages and disadvantages, such as high water absorption, low temperature impact toughness and dimensional stability is relatively poor. So engineers will use different methods to make PA6 better, which we call modification. At present, the most common method is to blend and modify PA6 with glass fiber (GF). Today, we will take a look at the mechanical properties of PA6 engineering plastics under the glass fiber GF system for reference and help us select materials. PA6-LGF 1. Influence of glass fiber content on PA6 engineering plastics We can find from the application and experiment that the content index is often one of the biggest influencing factors in fiber reinforced composites. As the glass fiber content increases, the number of glass fibers per unit area of the material will increase, which means that the PA6 matrix between the glass fibers will become thinner. This change determines the impact toughness, tensile strength, bending strength and other mechanical properties of glass fiber reinforced PA6 composites. In terms of impact performance, the increase of glass fiber content will greatly increase the notch impact strength of PA6. Taking long glass fiber (LGF) filling PA6 as an example, when the filling volume increases to 35%, the notch impact strength will increase from 24.8J/m to 128.5J/m. But the glass fiber content is not more is better, short glass fiber (SGF) filling volume reached 42%, the impact strength of the material reached the highest 17.4kJ/㎡, but continue to add will let the gap impact strength showed a downward trend. In terms of bending strength, the increase of the amount of glass fiber will make the bending stress can be transferred between the glass fiber through the resin layer; At the same time, when the glass fiber is extracted from the resin or broken, it will absorb a lot of energy, thus improving the bending strength of the material. The above theory is verified by experiments. The data show that the bending elastic modulus increases to 4.99GPa when the LGF (long glass fiber) is filled to 35%. When the content of SGF (short glass fiber) is 42%, the bending elastic modulus reaches 10410MPa, which is about 5 times that of pure PA6. 2. Influence of glass fiber retention length on PA6 composites The fiber length of the glass fiber also has an obvious effect on the mechanical properties of the material. When the length of the glass fiber is less than the critical length (the length of the fiber when the material has the tensile strength of the fiber), the interface binding area of the glass fiber and the resin increases with the increase of the length of the glass fiber. When the composite material is broken, the resistance of the glass fiber from the resin is also greater, so as to improve the ability to withstand the tensile load. When the length of glass fiber exceeds the critical, the longer glass fiber can absorb more impact energy under impact load. In addition, the end of the glass fiber is the initiation point of crack growth, and the number of long glass fiber ends is relatively less, and the impact strength can be significantly improved. The experimental results show that the tensile strength of the material increases from 154.8MPa to 164.4MPa when the glass fiber content is kept at 40% and the length of the glass fiber increases from 4mm to 13mm. The bending strength and notched impact strength increased by 24% and 28%, respectively. Moreover, the research shows that when the original length of the glass fiber is less than 7mm, the material performance increases more obviously. Compared with short glass fiber, long glass fiber reinforced PA6 material has better appearance warping resistance, and can better maintain mechanical properties under high temperature and humidity conditions. TDS for your reference PA6 can be made into long glass fiber reinforced material by adding 20%-60% long glass fiber according to the characteristics of the product. PA6 with long glass fiber added has better strength, heat resistance, impact resistance, dimensional stability and warping resistance than without glass fiber added. Following TDS show the data of PA6-LGF30. Application PA6-LGF has the largest proportion of applications in the automotive industry, by electronic and electrical applications, and also involving machinery and engineering ...
