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, Inc.
There is no question that Grafil offers one of the most diverse carbon fiber product ranges on the market today. Our carbon fibers are available in filament counts ranging from 3K to 60K with moduli between 34Msi (235 GPa) and 60 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 fiber of choice in a wide range of conversion processes including prepregging, weaving and other textile formats, filament winding, braiding, and pultrusion.
Grafil has been particularly successful in forming a partnership with industrial markets. Our Grafil and Pyrofil carbon fibers have become the industry standards for such commercial applications as filament wound pressure vessels, off shore components, and industrial rollers. In many varying intermediary forms our fibers have a leading position in automotive, wind energy and infrastructure applications.
Grafil and Pyrofil products are also qualified in a diverse range of traditional and developing aerospace applications.
Whatever your application, whatever your fiber requirements, we at Grafil understand the need to support existing customers and to assist the development of emerging markets. We look forward to the opportunity to work side-by-side with your technical team to deliver a cost effective solution.
