Carbon fibers and Ultrason® two partners with good properties. The combination of carbon fibers with the amorphous high-temperature plastic Ultrason® guarantees mechanical properties for temperatures of up to 200 °C. Excellent properties: very high stiffness, very constant mechanical properties, low and constant thermal expansion = dimensionally stable and excellent creep behavior Potential applications: Substitution of metal, using the advantages of thermoplastic materials (e.g. realization of complex designs by injection-molding), substitution of PEEK for applications with a maximum of 200 °C, parts with antistatic requirements and parts with electrically conductive requirements Information provided by BASF |
