High-Performance Reinforcement for Advanced Thermoplastics
ARCPLAS provides high-quality PAN-based chopped carbon fiber from Japan, precisely cut to specific lengths and treated with proprietary sizing agents.
Our materials are designed for compounding with various thermoplastic polymers, significantly contributing to weight reduction, enhanced mechanical strength, dimensional stability, and improved elastic modulus in molded components.
3 Core Customization Technologies
To meet specific molding processes and target physical properties, we offer high flexibility across three key technical elements:
1. Diverse Sizing Agent Selection
We offer a wide range of sizing agents to maximize compatibility with matrix resins, from general-purpose plastics to super engineering plastics.
- High-Temperature Support (350°C+): Compatible with PEEK, PPA, PPS, PI, etc.
- Engineering & General Purpose Plastics: Compatible with PA6/66, PC, PBT, POM, PP, etc.
2. Adjustable Sizing Ratios
The amount of sizing agent, which affects adhesion to the resin and feeding efficiency during compounding, can be tailored to your needs:
- Low Content (LC): 1.5%
- Standard Content (MC): 3.0%
- High Content (HC): 5.0%
3. Precision Cut Lengths
We offer precision cutting from 3mm to 50mm to match your molding method and required mechanical strength.
Grade Guide and Resin Compatibility
We recommend the optimal surface treatment grade based on your matrix resin:
| Resin Category | Target Resins | Recommended Grade |
|---|---|---|
| Super Engineering Plastics | PEEK, PPS, PPA | CFPS, CFEX1, CFAU3 |
| Engineering Plastics | PA6, PA66, PC, PBT | CFUW, CFEPU, CFEPP |
| General Purpose Plastics | PP, PE | FX1 |
Technical Advantages: Carbon Fiber (CF) vs. Glass Fiber (GF)
By replacing traditional glass fiber reinforced plastics (GFRP) with our carbon fiber solutions, you can achieve superior performance:
- Weight Reduction: Approximately 10% lighter than GF-reinforced counterparts.
- High Strength & Stiffness: A 15% CF reinforcement achieves mechanical strength nearly equivalent to a 30% GF reinforcement, enabling thinner and lighter parts.
- Conductivity: Adds electrical conductivity to resins, providing EMI shielding and anti-static properties.
Sustainability and Environmental Commitment
We are committed to eco-friendly manufacturing by effectively utilizing offcuts from the carbon fiber production process.
- Recycled CF Solutions: We offer compounds using recycled carbon fiber to balance high performance with reduced environmental impact.
- Prototyping Support: We provide flexible support for small-batch prototyping, including niche resins and specialized formulations.
Quality Assurance
Our manufacturing facilities are certified under ISO 9001:2015, the international standard for quality management systems. We ensure stable quality and reliable delivery for every order.
Standard Packaging: 20kg paper bags.
