Product catalog summary
Overview: The document is a technical data sheet for XECARB® 1-C20, a 20% carbon fiber reinforced PA66 material. It provides detailed specifications on physical, mechanical, thermal, and electrical properties, as well as processing recommendations.
Physical Properties: The density of the material is 1.22 g/cm3 as per ISO 1183. Water absorption values are provided for equilibrium and saturation conditions, though specific percentages are not listed.
Mechanical Properties: Key mechanical properties include a tensile modulus of 17,500 MPa and tensile strength at break of 220 MPa, both measured according to ISO 527. The flexural modulus is 13,000 MPa, and flexural strength is 295 MPa, as per ISO 178. Impact strength is measured using the Izod method, with notched and unnotched values provided at 23°C.
Thermal Properties: The heat deflection temperature (HDT) is 250°C at 1.80 MPa, and the VICAT softening temperature is also 250°C at 50 N, according to ISO standards. Coefficient of linear thermal expansion and maximum usage temperatures are mentioned but not specified.
Electrical Properties: Volume resistivity is 5E–02 Ohm*m, and surface resistivity is 5E+03 Ohm, measured according to IEC 60093.
Processing Recommendations: The recommended drying temperature is 80–100°C with a drying time of 6–8 hours. Melt temperature should be between 260–275°C, and mold temperature is recommended at 90°C.
Additional Notes: The document emphasizes the importance of verifying the provided information and testing the product for specific applications. It also highlights the need for proper ventilation during processing to avoid health risks from decomposition products. The document concludes with a disclaimer regarding the variability of test values and the importance of adhering to recommended processing conditions.
