Applying Carbon Fiber

Carbon fiber has been used for decades and continues to be a superior solution to structural strengthening, industrial infrastructure and residential repairs.

Unlocking the Potential of Carbon Fiber Applications

Carbon fiber, since its inception in 1958, has transformed various industries by offering unmatched strength and versatility. Today, this remarkable material finds application in diverse areas, ranging from aviation to everyday footwear, providing a durable and resilient alternative to traditional metals. Harnessing the power of carbon fiber can significantly enhance the structural integrity of metals and building infrastructures alike.

Diverse Forms of Carbon Fiber

Carbon fiber is renowned for its impressive strength, surpassing steel on a weight-to-weight basis by a factor of five. It is available in multiple versatile forms, including cloth, solid sheets, wraps, tubes, and threads. In addition to its role as a strength enhancer, carbon fiber often serves as a protective agent for various purposes, such as:

  • Vehicles
  • Structural supports
  • Piping
  • Walls
  • And much more

Safeguarding Your Investments with Carbon Fiber

Whether it pertains to your automobile, residence, or business, the strategic use of carbon fiber offers substantial cost savings. Carbon fiber not only reinforces existing metals, concrete, and even wood but also acts as a protective barrier. Its exceptional durability makes it effective in halting corrosion. Moreover, carbon fiber's pliability renders it suitable for a multitude of applications.

How to Apply Carbon Fiber Sheets or Wraps

The process of applying carbon fiber typically involves coating the surface with an adhesive or resin, followed by the application of carbon fiber sheets or wraps. The carbon fiber is meticulously smoothed out to ensure a secure seal. Subsequently, a sealant or resin/hardener solution is employed to complete the process.
