Carbon Fiber

Extraordinary Strength-to-Weight Ratios

istock carbon.jpg

The highest stiffness to weight ratio of any advanced fiber with moduli ranging from 33 msi (230 GPa) to 85 msi (588 GPa). PAN-based carbon fibers have a low specific gravity (1.8 gm/cm2) and excellent tensile and compressive strengths.

 

With both Vinyl Ester (VE) and epoxy sizings and a wide variety of woven, knit, and braided styles readily available, carbon enhances the performance of almost any product by saving weight and improving stiffness. Properly designed carbon can be a cost-effective alternative to traditional materials.
