CARBONX HTN+CF [HIGH TEMP CF NYLON]
CarbonX™ HTN+CF is an advanced semi-aromatic polyphthalamide (PPA) reinforced with high-modulus carbon fiber, designed for users requiring metal-replacement performance in high-heat environments. This filament offers exceptional thermal, mechanical, and chemical resistance, making it suitable for demanding automotive, aerospace, and industrial applications.
Key Features
- Extreme Heat Resistance: Maintains excellent strength and stiffness at temperatures up to 240°C, outperforming ULTEM™ PEI in specific thermal ranges.
- Superior Chemical Resistance: Resists automotive and jet fuels, oils, lubricants, acids, alcohols, and antifreeze.
- Low Moisture Absorption: Yields improved retention of mechanical properties and dimensional stability even in humid environments compared to standard Nylons.
- High-Modulus Reinforcement: Carbon fiber reinforcement provides high rigidity and strength for high-load mechanical parts.
