Carbon Fiber
As a composite, Carbon Fiber is a plastic material that is reinforced with carbon fibers to achieve high specific strength (strength-to-weight ratio). It is also light weight material.
The stiffness of a Carbon Fiber part is almost three times higher than that of its fiberglass equivalent.
Carbon Fiber is widely used in the automotive, aerospace, and defense industries for the production of parts and components requiring superior specific strength.
