Carbon Fiber

Carbon Fiber

Carbon fiber is a lightweight, high-strength material made from carbon atoms bonded together in a crystalline structure. It's known for being stronger than steel yet lighter than aluminum, and it's used in advanced composite materials when bonded with resins.

Forms Available:

Fabric (plain, twill weave)

Chopped strand

Milled powder

Strips

Tubes, rods, and sheets

Key Properties:

Extremely high tensile strength

Lightweight and low density

Corrosion resistant

High stiffness and fatigue resistance

Conducts electricity and heat

Common Uses of Carbon Fiber:

1. Aerospace & Aviation

Airplane wings, fuselage parts, interiors

Reduces weight while maintaining strength

2. Automotive & Motorsports

Race car bodies, hoods, bumpers, drive shafts

Enhances speed and fuel efficiency

3. Sports & Leisure Equipment

Tennis rackets, bicycles, fishing rods, golf clubs

Combines lightweight feel with high strength

4. Marine

Yacht masts, racing boat hulls, propellers

Saltwater corrosion resistance

5. Construction & Infrastructure

Strengthening beams, bridges, and buildings using carbon fiber strips or sheets for retrofitting

Earthquake-resistant reinforcements

6. Medical

Prosthetics, surgical instruments, X-ray table components (radiolucent)

7. Wind Energy

Wind turbine blades for higher strength and lower weight
