Carbon Fiber Compounds are formulated to be lighter, stiffer, and stronger than traditional glass-filled compounds, allowing for more design freedom and flexibility.

Carbon Fiber Compounds offer a lightweight alternative to metal and Glass Fiber Compounds without sacrificing strength or performance, providing:

  • Strength
  • Modulus
  • Lightweighting
  • Ultra Performance
  • Metal Replacement

Carbon fiber can be compounded with a wide range of resins and is an excellent choice for achieving high tensile and flexural strength. Only a small amount of carbon fiber reinforcement is needed for cost-optimized performance results.

Because they resist the forces of bending and strain better than their Glass Fiber counterparts, Carbon Fiber Compounds help preserve and protect the performance integrity of your application over time. This means that your plastic applications will perform better and last longer.
