The main application of carbon fiber products

The main application of carbon fiber products:

1. Continuous long fiber:
Product features: Carbon fiber manufacturers are more common product forms. The tow is composed of thousands of monofilaments. According to the twisting method, it is divided into three types: NT (Never Twisted, untwisted), UT (Untwisted, untwisted), TT or ST (Twisted, twisted), among which NT is the more commonly used carbon fiber. For twisted carbon fiber, according to the twist direction, it can be divided into S-twisted yarn and Z-twisted yarn.

Main application: mainly used for composite materials such as CFRP, CFRTP or C/C composite materials, and the application fields include aircraft/aerospace equipment, sporting goods and industrial equipment parts.

2. Chopped carbon fiber
Product features: It is made of continuous carbon fiber through chopped processing, and the chopped length of the fiber can be cut according to customer needs.

Main application: Usually used as a mixture of plastics, resins, cement, etc., the mechanical properties, wear resistance, electrical conductivity and heat resistance can be improved by mixing into the matrix; in recent years, the reinforcing fibers in 3D printing carbon fiber composite materials are mostly chopped carbon fibers Mainly.

3. Staple yarn
Product Features: Spun yarn for short, the yarn spun from short carbon fiber, such as general-purpose pitch-based carbon fiber, is usually in the form of short fiber.

Main application: heat insulation materials, anti-friction materials, C/C composite parts, etc.

4. Carbon fiber fabric
Product features: It is woven from continuous carbon fiber or short carbon fiber yarn. According to the weaving method, carbon fiber fabric can be divided into woven fabric, knitted fabric and non-woven fabric. At present, carbon fiber fabric is usually woven fabric.

Main use: Same as continuous carbon fiber, mainly used for composite materials such as CFRP, CFRTP or C/C composite materials, and the application fields include aircraft/aerospace equipment, sporting goods and industrial equipment parts.

5. Carbon fiber braided belt
Product features: It is a kind of carbon fiber fabric, which is also woven from continuous carbon fiber or short carbon fiber yarn.

Main application: Mainly used for resin-based reinforcement materials, especially for the production and processing of tubular products.

6. Grinding carbon fiber / carbon fiber powder
Product features: Since carbon fiber is a brittle material, it can be prepared into powdered carbon fiber material after grinding, that is, ground carbon fiber.

Main application: Similar to chopped carbon fiber, but rarely used in the field of cement reinforcement; usually used as a mixture of plastics, resins, rubber, etc. to improve the mechanical properties, wear resistance, electrical conductivity and heat resistance of the matrix.

7. Carbon fiber felt
Product features: The main form is felt or mat. Firstly, the short fibers are layered by mechanical carding and other methods, and then prepared by acupuncture; also known as carbon fiber non-woven fabric, it is a kind of carbon fiber woven fabric.

Main application: thermal insulation material, base material of molded thermal insulation material, base material of heat-resistant protective layer and corrosion-resistant layer, etc.

8. Carbon fiber paper
Product features: Carbon fiber is used as raw material, and it is prepared by dry or wet papermaking process.

Main applications: anti-static plates, electrodes, speaker cones, and heating plates; hot applications in recent years are cathode materials for new energy vehicle batteries, etc.

9. Carbon fiber prepreg
Product features: semi-hardened intermediate material made of carbon fiber impregnated with thermosetting resin, which has excellent mechanical properties and is widely used; the width of carbon fiber prepreg depends on the size of processing equipment

Main applications: areas such as aircraft/aerospace equipment, sporting goods and industrial equipment that are in urgent need of lightweight and high performance.

10. Carbon fiber composite
Product features: Injection molding material made of thermoplastic or thermosetting resin mixed with carbon fiber, the mixture is made of various additives and chopped fibers, and then compounded.

Main application: Relying on the material’s excellent electrical conductivity, high rigidity, and light weight advantages, it is mainly used in office automation equipment shells and other products.
