High Strength Carbon Fiber Fabric

High strength grade uses a premium PAN precursor and tightened carbonization to reach a minimum of 4200 MPa tensile strength. Standard modulus fabric generally falls between 3500 and 3800 MPa. The difference is roughly 15% to 20% additional tensile capacity at equivalent weight, which matters where ply count is fixed by thickness or geometry limits.

Structural epoxy systems with glass transition temperature of 180°C or higher are recommended to fully utilise the fiber's tensile capability. The resin should have strain to failure above 2% to avoid premature matrix cracking under load. Toughened epoxy grades are preferred where impact or dynamic loading is expected.

Yes. Vacuum bag processing achieves 55% to 58% fiber volume fraction and is suitable for many structural applications. Autoclave processing at 5 to 7 bar reaches 58% to 62% and reduces void content further, which is preferred for primary structures where consistent properties are required.

Vacuum bagging typically yields 55% to 58%. Autoclave or compression molding reaches 58% to 62%. The weave structure allows high compaction without significant tow distortion, which helps retain the fiber's mechanical advantage in the cured laminate.

Each roll is supplied with a Certificate of Conformance recording batch number, fiber tensile verification, measured areal weight, weave geometry, and sizing content. Full material data sheets are available for engineering review and structural qualification records.
