Carbon Fiber Properties
We are innovating non-metallic solutions to meet the global demand for energy and materials. Carbon fiber reinforced products are such a solution: they are light, durable, high-strength, impact resistant, strong, corrosion-resistant and high-temperature resistant. We are developing new technologies that are expected to help reduce the cost of carbon fiber or carbon fiber products and expand the vision of new applications.
What is carbon fiber?
Carbon fiber is thinner than hair, lighter than aluminum and stronger than steel. It has extraordinary strength and versatility, making it an ideal manufacturing material for many industries. Generally, carbon fibers are made of organic synthetic polymers called polyacrylonitrile (Pan) and appear in the form of long and tightly bound carbon atoms, called filaments or filaments. It gains strength when twisted together and can then be woven into fabric or added to resin and molded.
What are the benefits of carbon fiber?
The ability to reduce weight while maintaining strength is very important. For example, in the automotive field, reducing vehicle weight can reduce fuel consumption and emissions without affecting performance or safety. Compared with metal, carbon fiber has higher specific strength and stiffness, while composite products reinforced with carbon fiber have brought a wide range of practical advantages and saved costs due to faster installation, corrosion resistance and lower maintenance and operation costs. Industries seeking lightweight components, increased structural stiffness, longer maintenance cycles and improved productivity are all attracted by the unique characteristics of carbon fiber.
