Carbon Fiber Reinforced Thermoplastic Compounds for High Temperature Applications

Products are available in high temperature resin systems with carbon fiber reinforcement loadings from 20-40% to provide performance options that meet a broad range of requirements for demanding applications in energy, industrial, aerospace, automotive, and medical markets that previously required aluminum, zinc, and magnesium metals.

Manufactured using advanced compounding techniques that maximize fiber integrity; Ultra Performance Structural Compounds from JW Company achieve strength and stiffness properties that are higher than previously available products. Combining the higher mechanical properties and lower densities of carbon fiber with the excellent thermal and chemical resistance provided by using high temperature resin systems allows these injection moldable thermoplastic materials to close the performance gap between plastics and metals.Global custom engineered thermoplastics compounder JW Company has elevated the mechanical properties of its industry-leading portfolio of high temperature structural products to include new “ultra performance” compounds based on carbon fiber reinforced PEEK, PPA, PPS, and PEI resin systems to create the highest performing thermoplastic products available.

Injection moldable materials with this kind of performance are groundbreaking in their ability to open up new opportunities for using thermoplastics. We achieved this elevated performance by drawing upon JW Company’s knowledge and expertise in compounding high temperature polymers and fiber reinforcements to engineer a platform of products that raise the capabilities of thermoplastic compounds to new levels.

With higher strength and stiffness values along with improved impact and fatigue resistance, these materials provide across the board performance improvements that will give product designers added confidence when specifying Ultra Performance Structural Compounds to replace traditional materials.These high temperature polymers combine excellent chemical resistance with very high strength and stiffness making them the premier choice for energy exploration, industrial fluid handling, and other applications that are exposed to harsh service environments.

In addition to structural characteristics, JW Company can incorporate other capabilities during compounding, such as wear and friction resistance at high pressure/velocity ratios without needing external lubricants. PEEK, PEI, and PPS materials are inherently flame retardant and often chosen for their low burning toxicity, but flame retardants can also be added to PPA to increase product safety.
