Professional UV Resistant Coating Spraying Service for Carbon Fiber Tubes & Plates

Carbon fiber composites are the first choice for modern engineering and custom manufacturing, and are accepted by industrial sectors worldwide due to their outstanding lightweight design, high tensile strength, exceptional corrosion resistance and stable mechanical performance. Carbon fiber tubes and carbon fiber plates are key structural and cosmetic elements for aircraft, custom automotive, marine, outdoor renewable energy, premium sports equipment and architectural applications. But naked carbon fiber tubes and plates have one character pain point in outdoor use: ultraviolet (UV) radiation aging. The carbon fibre strands are chemically inert. But UVA and UVB radiation can harm the epoxy resin matrix that binds the fiber bundles together over long-term exposure to sunshine. Long term exposure to external UV radiation causes the resin to age chalking on the surface, micro cracks, yellowing and brittleness. As they age, the structural integrity, the woven distinctive finish and the luxury appearance of the carbon fiber goods are degraded, limiting the service life and forcing foreign producers to incur recurring costs for repair and replacement. To solve this long term problem of industry, our factory offers customized professional UV resistant coating spraying service for carbon fiber tubes and carbon fiber plates, high adhesion, scratch proof and transparent surface finishing, suitable for commercial and industrial outdoor carbon fiber applications.

 Most of the overseas consumers, product designers and production partners will assume regular polished carbon fiber tubes and plates are 100% weather proof for outdoor applications. In actual applications, the aging flaws of unprotected carbon fibre composites are obvious after being exposed outside for 6-12 months. Prolonged UV exposure leads to deterioration of the molecular structure of epoxy substrates resulting in color fading, surface dullness, multiplication of micro fractures and loss of structural toughness. UV aging can hide structural faults and reduce the service life of equipment used to hold carbon fiber tubes in solar support, wind energy accessories and outdoor monitoring brackets. Decorative carbon fiber plates used in vehicle trim, boat interiors and commercial display facilities are subject to UV radiation-induced fading and chalking, which severely reduces product aesthetics and market value. The finish used in manufacturing isn't very protective and won't withstand long-term UV exposure when outside.  A professionally formulated UV coating spray considerably benefits commercial grade carbon fiber tubes and plates used in outside working situations.

 We have developed our own methods of spraying UV resistant coating on carbon fiber tube and plate substrates. We use the best formulas of industrial coatings like 2K polyurethane coatings, ceramic enhanced UV resistant coatings and high stability acrylic paints.  In our carbon fibre coatings we add high performance UV absorbers and light stabilizers, not cheap spray paints that you can obtain on the market. These high performance additives are effective in deflecting and isolating UVA and UVB radiation to avoid resin molecular scission and substrate degradation. Our special blend solves common industrial problems of poor paint adhesion, peeling, blistering and uneven coating on carbon fiber surfaces. The carbon fiber tubes and plates are sprayed professionally and cured at constant temperature for outdoor commercial use, forming a thin, tight and seamless protective coating, so as to achieve the purpose of reliable long-term UV protection and zero loss of the original carbon fiber texture.

 The main market advantage of our product is the protection and durability with a real carbon fiber feel. Traditional protective coatings tend to be thick and opaque, obscuring the beautiful woven grain of the carbon fiber, losing the high-end feel that makes carbon fiber items special. But our super thin clear UV coating protects the exact original 3D weave and the sleek industrial properties of the material. The coating significantly improves the surface flatness, wear and stain resistance, water-proof performance, enhances UV resistance and covers the small surface pinholes and minor molding faults. Good protection to carbon fibre substrates against dust, rain water and moderate industrial corrosion. Our surface coatings range from high gloss clear, anti-glare matte and custom tinted coating options to meet the wide range of product design and application requirements of our worldwide customers.

 Uniform and reliable quality of the finish is one of the most crucial guarantees for bulk export orders. We have normalized the end-to-end manufacturing processes for all UV coating projects of carbon fiber tube and plate, including substrate pre-treatment, dust-free automatic spraying, constant-temperature curing and strict completed product inspection. Our expert team will degrease and dust the surface prior to processing to remove impurities and to achieve optimum adhesion of the coating preventing exterior peeling or blistering during long term usage. We have a rigorous automatic spray process, which produces consistent film thicknesses to provide complete coverage on flat carbon fibre plates and both the interior and exterior of hollow carbon fibre tubes with no dead spots or uneven paint. The standardized curing process enhances the compactness and adherence of the coating, resulting in finished products that are resistant to severe external exposures such as high temperature, high humidity, and coastal salt fog environments.

 All our UV coated carbon fiber products have been tested by authoritative 3rd party for the weather resistance testing including 1000 hours continuous UV aging tests and multi-cycle simulated outdoor environment tests. Our professional carbon fiber tubes and plates have been tested outside for a long time, the mechanical strength is stable, the color is uniform, the coating surface is not damaged, yellowing, cracking or peeling. Our UV coating on carbon fiber solar support tubes in genuine commercial applications can cut total operational & maintenance expenses by 60% over 10 years. Our multi-purpose protective coating has excellent salt spray and water erosion resistance properties for marine grade carbon fiber structural parts and yacht decorative parts in corrosive offshore environment, which maximizes the service life of the product and reduces the replacement frequency.

 Our UV Coating services are designed to meet a variety of commercial uses in many different industries. The UV-resistant coating we’ve developed protects high altitude carbon fiber components from the severe solar radiation faced by aerospace and drone manufacturers, maintaining constant aerodynamic performance and structural safety. Carbon fiber coated trim pieces and pipe fittings for aftermarket items for cars and motorbikes are remarkable in quality for long term exterior exposure so they do not become faded and worn. The light protective cover adds hardly any weight and makes a big difference in weather-resistance. In outdoor sporting gear, like carbon-fiber bike frames and ski plates. We also provide expert UV finishing of large size carbon fiber plates and support tubes for new energy infrastructure and outdoor architecture projects for exterior service with long-lasting durability.
