High Quality Materials 100% 3K Plain Matte Carbon Fiber Plate – High Gloss

Our Carbon Fiber Panels are constructed with the same certified carbon fiber that is currently used in state-of-the-art aircraft and sailing yachts. ?With the use of certified T-300 carbon fiber fabric, all of our carbon fiber panels are made to the highest standards in both manufacture and material.

Carbon fiber panels have physical properties that are similar to steel. However, the stiffness of carbon fiber is superior to that of an equivalent piece of steel while also remaining much substantially lighter and is similar to plastic in weight. This gives the carbon fiber panels a much higher strength-to-weight ratio by comparison.

INFORMATION ABOUT CARBON FIBER SHEETS

Carbon fiber, also known as carbon graphite or CF is a material made up of thin fibers composed mainly of carbon atoms. These fibers are extremely strong for their size due to the microscopic crystal alignment of the carbon atoms. Carbon fiber is made by twisting several thousand carbon fibers together to form a tow, which can be used alone or woven into a fabric. The fabric can be combined with a thermoplastic resin and molded or wound to create composite parts such as CFRP, which offers a high strength-to-weight ratio. Carbon fiber has several weave patterns and is popular in aerospace, military, civil engineering, motorsports, and other competition sports due to its low weight, high tensile strength, and low thermal expansion. However, carbon fiber is relatively expensive compared to similar materials such as fiberglass or plastic.

Carbon fiber is excellent at resisting tension or stretching, but it is not as strong when compressed or exposed to high shock. In 1958, high-performance carbon fibers were first created by Roger Bacon at the Union Carbide Parma Technical Center, using rayon strands heated until they carbonized. This process was inefficient, and the resulting fibers had only about 20 percent carbon and low-strength properties. In the early 1960s, Dr. Akio Shindo of the Agency of Industrial Science and Technology of Japan created carbon fiber using polyacrylonitrile (PAN) as the raw material, resulting in a fiber containing about 55 percent carbon.
