The post Polyamide PA66 reinforced with 20 % carbon fiber — Examid® PA66 CF20 appeared first on MaterialWizard.

Examid PA12 CF30 — an injection-molding polyamide 12 compound reinforced with 30 % chopped carbon fiber (PAN-based, not a structural CFRP prepreg). It combines the lowest water absorption in the entire polyamide range (~0.25 % in 24 h at 23 °C), electrically conductive behavior imparted by the carbon-fiber filler, high dimensional stability in humid environments and good chemical resistance to oils, fuels and alkalis. Processed by standard injection molding at a melt temperature of 240–270 °C; mold temperature 80–100 °C; preferably uniform filling, since carbon fiber tends to orient along flow lines and cause shrinkage anisotropy.

Conductive or antistatic? — the difference

Unlike static-dissipative (antistatic) grades (surface resistance 10⁹–10¹² Ω/sq), PA12 CF30 falls within the electrically conductive range: typical volume resistivity 10¹–10⁴ Ω·cm, surface resistance 10²–10⁵ Ω/sq (per ISO 3915 / IEC 60093). This allows the compound to be used where simply “not accumulating” charge is not enough — for reliable static drainage and current dissipation in ATEX zones, housings of ESD-sensitive electronics, and assemblies in contact with light hydrocarbons. The exact resistance depends on fiber orientation within the part — in weld-line zones and thin walls it can be 1–2 orders of magnitude higher.

Advantages

• The lowest water absorption in the entire polyamide range — stable dimensions under high humidity and in contact with fuels and lubricants
• Electrically conductive behavior from carbon fiber (no carbon black), “clean” channel walls
• High specific stiffness (modulus per unit mass) thanks to the low density of PA12 + CF
• Good chemical resistance to oils, gasoline, diesel, hydraulic fluids, weak acids and alkalis
• Inherent PA12 resistance to hydrolysis and stress cracking — an advantage over PA6/PA66 CF30 in northern and offshore applications
• Low permanent set under dynamic loading

Limitations — honestly

• Not a structural CFRP. This is an injection-molding compound with discrete fiber (0.2–0.4 mm length after processing) — not used in primary load-bearing structures (fuselage skin, spars, wings). Used in secondary and interior aerospace parts.
• Anisotropy of shrinkage and modulus along flow lines — requires well-considered gating, especially for thin-walled and asymmetric parts
• More brittle than unfilled PA12 — not for impact-loaded structures at low temperatures without modification
• Compound cost is 3–5 times higher than the GF counterpart
• UV resistance is improved over base PA12, but a UV-stabilized grade or painting is recommended for long-term outdoor service
• Dark coloration (from the naturally black CF) — color matching is limited

Target applications

Automotive: fuel systems (assemblies with electrostatic drainage), quick-connect fuel line couplings, pressure and temperature sensor housings, brake system components, brackets.

Aerospace (secondary structures): cable routing brackets, harness holders, connector and backshell housings, cabin air duct guides, auxiliary sensor housings. Not intended for skin panels or load-bearing structural elements.
