Carbon Fibers
Carbon fiber is a high-performance reinforcement widely employed in composite materials due to its exceptional strength-to-weight ratio and stiffness. Composed of thin strands of carbon atoms, these fibers are renowned for their incredible durability and resistance to various environmental factors. In composite applications, carbon fiber offers outstanding structural support while remaining lightweight, making it a preferred choice in aerospace, automotive, and sports equipment.
