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.

What is long glass fiber? Long glass fiber reinforced plastic is on the basis of the original pure plastic, adding long glass fiber and other additives, so as to improve the scope of use of materials. Why filling Long Glass Fiber? 1. After long glass fiber reinforcement, long glass fiber is a high temperature resistant material, therefore, the heat resistance temperature of reinforced plastics is much higher than before without long glass fiber, especially nylon plastics; 2. After long glass fiber reinforcement, due to the addition of long glass fiber, limited the mutual movement between polymer chains of plastics, therefore, the shrinkage rate of reinforced plastics decreases a lot, rigidity is greatly improved; 3. After long glass fiber reinforcement, the reinforced plastic will not stress crack, at the same time, the anti-impact performance of plastic is improved a lot; 4. After long glass fiber reinforcement, long glass fiber is a high strength material, which also greatly improves the strength of plastic, such as: tensile strength, compression strength, bending strength, improve a lot; 5. Long glass fiber reinforced after, due to the addition of long glass fiber and other additives, the combustion performance of reinforced plastics decreased a lot, most of the material can not ignite, is a kind of flame retardant material.

PPS long glass fiber reinforced thermoplastic granules for introduction and properties

PEEK-LCF Polyether ether ketone (abbreviated PEEK) not only has excellent mechanical, heat and chemical resistance properties, and low friction coefficient, good bearing meshing, is another kind of good self-lubricating material after polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), in the bearing capacity and wear resistance than PTFE performance is better, In no lubrication, low speed and high load, high temperature, humidity, pollution, corrosion and other harsh environment is especially suitable. On this basis, the addition of carbon fiber not only enhances its mechanical properties, its friction performance has important ‌ influence. At room temperature, the tensile strength of 30% carbon fiber reinforced PEEK composite doubled, and reached three times at 150℃. At the same time, the impact strength, bending strength and modulus of the reinforced composite were also greatly improved, the elongation was sharply reduced, and the thermal deformation temperature could exceed 300℃. The impact energy absorption rate of the composite directly affects the impact performance of the composite. The carbon fiber reinforced PEEK composite shows a specific energy absorption capacity of up to 180kJ/kg. The reinforced effect of carbon fiber can also resist the thermal softening of PEEK and form a transfer film with very high strength to a certain extent, which can effectively protect the contact area. Therefore, the friction coefficient and specific wear rate of carbon fiber reinforced PEEK composite are significantly lower than that of pure PEEK. Under the same experimental conditions, the friction and wear resistance of carbon fiber reinforced PEEK composites is obviously better than that of glass fiber PEEK composites, and the improvement effect of carbon fiber on the wear resistance of materials is more than 5 times that of glass fiber with the same dosage. Carbon fiber reinforced PEEK composite material is used in parts manufacturing, which can effectively avoid the surface cracks of metal or ceramic materials, and its excellent tribological properties even exceed that of ultra-high molar mass polyethylene. TDS Application Long carbon fiber reinforced PEEK is mainly applied in the following four areas: 1. Electronic and electrical appliances PEEK can maintain good electrical insulation in the harsh environment such as high temperature, high pressure and high humidity, and has the characteristics of non-deformation in a wide temperature range, so it is used as an ideal electrical insulation material in the field of electronic and electrical appliances. The mechanical properties, chemical corrosion resistance, radiation resistance and high temperature resistance of polyether ether ketone reinforced by carbon fiber have been further improved, and its application fields have been further expanded. 2. Aerospace Polyether ether ketone PEEK has the advantages of low density and good workability, so it is easy to be directly processed into high-demand parts, and carbon fiber reinforced polyether ether ketone composite material further enhances the overall performance of polyether ether ketone, so it is increasingly used in aircraft manufacturing. The fairing on Boeing's 757-200 series aircraft, for example, is made from carbon-fiber reinforced PEEK. In addition, Gereedschappen Fabrick of Amsterdam, the Netherlands, used a 30% carbon fiber reinforced PEEK composite to build a larger component and demonstrated that its mechanical properties could be used in aircraft balancing devices. 3. Automotive Automobile energy consumption is closely related to vehicle weight. Automobile lightweight can not only reduce fuel consumption and exhaust emissions, but also improve power performance and safety, which is an effective way to save energy. In addition to the lightweight design of the structure, the use of lightweight materials is a more direct method. With its advantages of low density, good performance and convenient technology, carbon fiber reinforced polyether ether ketone composites are more and more frequently used in the automobile industry, and show great potential of replacing steel with plastic. For example, Robert Bosch GmbH uses carbon fiber reinforced PEEK instead of metal as a feature of ABS. The lighter composite part reduces moment of inertia, which minimizes reaction times, greatly enhances the overall system's reactivity, and reduces costs compared to previously used metal parts. 4. Healthcare Currently available medical polymer materials are polytetrafluoroethylene, polylactic acid, silicone rubber and dozens of kinds, but from the point of view of biomedicine, these materials are not ideal, in the use of some side effects, and PEEK resin because of its non-toxic, light weight, abrasion resistance and other advantages, is the material closest to the human skeleton, can be organically combined with the body, Therefore, polyether ether ketone resin and its composite materials have been deeply studied and applied in spine and joint...

PA 12 (also known as Nylon 12) is a good general-use plastic with broad additive applications and is known for its toughness, tensile strength, impact strength and ability to flex without fracture. PA 12 has long been used by injection molders due to these mechanical properties.

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 ...
