Why choose carbon fiber

Carbon fiber composites stand out from the crowd for several reasons. Here are a few:

• Lightweight – carbon fiber is a low density material with a very high strength to weight ratio

• High tensile strength – one of the strongest of all commercial reinforcing fibers when it comes to tension, carbon fiber is very difficult to stretch or bend

• Low thermal expansion – carbon fiber will expand or contract much less in hot or cold conditions than materials like steel and aluminum

• Exceptional durability – carbon fiber has superior fatigue properties compared to metal, meaning components made of carbon fiber won`t wear out as quickly under the stress of constant use

• Corrosion-resistance – when made with the appropriate resins, carbon fiber is one of the most corrosion-resistant materials available

• Radiolucence – carbon fiber is transparent to radiation and invisible in x-rays, making it valuable for usage in medical equipment and facilities

• Electrical conductivity – carbon fiber composites are an excellent conductor of electricity

• Ultra-violet resistant – carbon fiber can be UV resistant with use of the proper resins
