Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic Carbon fiber reinforced plastic composite (CFRP) is a lightweight, strong material that can be used to make a wide range of products used in everyday life. It is a term used to describe fiber reinforced composites with carbon fiber as the main structural component. Note that the "P" in CFRP can also stand for "plastic" rather than "polymer." Typically, CFRP composites use thermosetting resins such as epoxy, polyester, or vinyl esters. Despite the use of thermoplastic resins in CFRP composites, "carbon fiber reinforced thermoplastic composites" often uses its own acronym, CFRTP composites. LFT-G focuses on LFT&LFRT. Long Glass Fiber Series (LGF) & Long Carbon Fiber Series. Compared with Short Carbon Fiber, Long Carbon Fiber has more excellent performance in mechanical properties. It is  more suitable for large products and structural parts. It has 1-3 times higher (toughness) than Short Carbon Fiber, and the tensile strength(strength and rigidity) is increased by 0.5-1 times. Properties of CFRP composites Composites reinforced with carbon fiber are different from other FRP composites that use traditional materials such as glass fiber or arylon fiber. Advantages of CFRP composites include: Light weight: Conventional fiberglass reinforced composites using continuous fiberglass and 70% fiberglass (glass weight/gross weight) typically have a density of 0.065 lb/cubic inch. A CFRP composite with the same 70% fiber weight might typically have a density of 0.055 lb/cubic inch. Increased strength: Carbon fiber composites not only weigh less, but CFRP composites are stronger and stiffer per unit weight. This is true when comparing carbon fiber composites to glass fibers, and even more so when comparing metals. For example, when comparing steel to CFRP composites, a good rule of thumb is that a carbon fiber structure of the same strength typically weighs 1/5 as steel. You can imagine why car companies are looking into using carbon fiber instead of steel. When comparing CFRP composites to aluminum (one of the lightest metals used), the standard assumption is that an aluminum structure of the same strength might weigh 1.5 times as much as a carbon fiber structure. Of course, there are many variables that can change this comparison. Grades and qualities of materials may vary, and for composites, the manufacturing process, fiber structure and quality need to be considered. Disadvantages of CFRP composites Cost: As amazing as the material is, there's a reason carbon fiber can't be used in every situation. Currently, the cost of CFRP composites is too high in many cases. Depending on current market conditions (supply and demand), the type of carbon fiber (aerospace grade versus commercial grade), and bundle size, carbon fiber prices can vary significantly. On a per-pound basis, carbon fiber can cost anywhere from five to 25 times more than fiberglass. The difference is even greater when comparing steel with CFRP composites. Electrical conductivity: This can be a plus or minus for carbon fiber composites, depending on the application. Carbon fiber is extremely conductive, while glass fiber is insulating. Many applications use fiberglass instead of carbon fiber or metal, strictly because of electrical conductivity. For example, in the utility industry, many products require the use of fiberglass. This is one of the reasons why the ladder uses fiberglass as the ladder rail. The chance of electric shock is much lower if the fiberglass ladder comes into contact with the power cord. The situation with CFRP ladders is different. Although the cost of CFRP composites remains high, new technological advances in manufacturing are continuing to provide more cost effective products. Application of PP-LCF Long Carbon Fiber as the reinforcement material of CFRP, its proportion is only 1/4 of iron, specific strength is 10 times that of iron, elastic modulus is 7 times that of iron, carbon fiber excellent physical properties are played in various fields from sports goods to aircraft.

Depending on the end use, the finished products can be used for injection molding,extrusion, molding, etc., or directly used for plastic instead of steel and thermoset products.

ABS is another preferred type of engineering plastic that is valued for its chemical and thermal stability, strength, toughness, and glossy finish.  Its host of desirable properties make it a versatile material.  It is used in everything from consumer products like toys and bicycle helmets to automotive applications such as interior trim pieces, housings for electronics, and more. After adding glass fiber to ABS, the rigidity, heat resistance and dimensional stability of the composite are significantly improved. In addition, the cost performance of ABS plus glass fiber is extremely good, which can meet the needs of manufacturers while reducing costs. About ABS-LGF compounds The main application scope of modified ABS: 1.  Auto parts: instrument panels, fenders, car interiors, car lights, reversing mirrors, car audio; 2.  Electronic and electrical components: IT equipment, OA equipment shells, converters, etc., power sockets, etc.; 3.  Electronic appliances: switches, power switches, controllers, monitors, monitor housings, electrical housings, electrical brackets; 4.  Home appliances: electrical components, electrical control boxes What Are the Advantages of ABS Injection Molding? The advantages of ABS injection molding are: 1. High Productivity - Efficiency Injection molding is a highly efficient and productive manufacturing technology and is the preferred method of manufacturing ABS parts. The process creates limited waste and can produce large volumes of parts with limited human interaction. 2. Design of Complex Parts Injection molding can produce multi-featured, complex components that can include metal inserts or overmolded soft-grip handholds.  3. Increased Strength ABS is a strong, lightweight thermoplastic that is widely used in a number of industries due to these properties. As such, injection molding in ABS is ideal for applications that require increased durability and overall mechanical strength. 4. Flexibility of Color and Material ABS is easily colored with a wide range of colors. It must be noted however that ABS has poor weathering resistance and can be degraded by UV light and prolonged outdoor exposure. Fortunately, ABS can be painted and even electroplated with metal to improve its environmental resistance.  5. Decreased Waste Injection molding is inherently low-wastage production technology due to the large production volumes that injection molding was designed for. When millions of parts are made per year, any amount of wastage adds up to a significant cost over time. The only wastage is the material in the sprue, runners, and the flashing between mold halves.  6. Low Cost of Labor Due to the highly automated nature of injection molding, very limited human intervention is required. Reduced human intervention results in reduced labor costs. This reduced labor cost ultimately results in a low cost per part.

Why Use Polyamide? The reason behind choosing polyamide over other materials will vary for different applications. When using polyamide for electrical cable protection, it offers better performance, flexibility, and impact resistance than PVC protection. In the automotive industry, it is used because it is cheaper and lighter than metal. In machines, it is used over other materials due to its high flexibility and durability.  About PA6-LGF compounds The main application scope of modified PA6: 1.  Auto parts: instrument panels, fenders, car interiors, car lights, reversing mirrors, car audio; 2.  Electronic and electrical components: IT equipment, OA equipment shells, converters, etc., power sockets, etc.; 3.  Electronic appliances: switches, power switches, controllers, monitors, monitor housings, electrical housings, electrical brackets; 4.  Home appliances: electrical components, electrical control boxes 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.
