Carbon Fiber Markets
The driving force behind the development of carbon fiber in the 1970s was the aerospace industry.

Once carbon fibers became commercially available, entrepreneurs started to exploit this unique material in a variety of creative ways, using it to make very high performance, yet affordable products, such as golf clubs, fishing rods, and tennis racquets.

This trend has continued to the present day with new applications appearing at a rapid pace. Oil & gas, wind energy, fuel cells, infrastructure, electronics, medical and musical instruments…the list grows longer and more diverse daily.

Grafil Fibers
There is no question that Grafil offers one of the most diverse carbon product ranges on the market today. Our high strength carbon fibers are available in filament counts ranging from 3K to 48K with moduli between 34 Msi (235 GPa) and 65 Msi (450 GPa).

Each and every one of our products has been designed and tested to match its target application. As a result, our fibers are the fibers of choice in a wide range of conversion processes including prepregging, weaving, filament winding, braiding, SMC and pultrusion.

Grafil has been particularly successful in forming a partnership with industrial markets. Our 12K, 24K, and 48K fibers have become the industry standards for such commercial applications as filament wound pressure vessels, oil risers, and rollers. In SMC and prepreg tape forms, Grafil fibers have a leading position in automotive, wind energy and infrastructure applications.
