Helmet material: ABS composites, FRP, carbon fiber, what are the differences? How to tell good from bad?
ABS resin is one of the five major synthetic resin, impact resistance, heat resistance, low temperature resistance, chemical resistance and excellent electrical properties, but also has the characteristics of easy processing, product size stability, good surface gloss, easy coloring, painting, but also the surface plating metal, electroplating, welding, hot pressing and bonding the two processing, widely used in the industrial field of mechanical and automotive electrical and electronic instruments, textiles and construction, is a very widely used thermoplastic engineering plastics.Materials (Composite) is a material consisting of two or more than two different materials which, in physical or chemical ways, macroscopically form new properties. Various materials in the performance complement each other, and produce synergistic effect, so that the comprehensive performance of composite material is better than the original material, and meet a variety of different requirements. The matrix materials of composite materials are divided into two major categories: metal and nonmetal. Metal matrix commonly used aluminum, magnesium, copper, titanium and its alloys. The non-metallic matrix mainly includes synthetic resin, rubber, ceramic, graphite, carbon and so on.
ABS is a kind of thermoplastic material, glass steel is called composite materials, the helmet is a large part of carbon fiber prepreg epoxy resin has high temperature and high pressure molding, glass fiber and unsaturated resin molding, strength needless to say, of course, is the best carbon fiber, the price is also the most expensive.
