Karbon Elyaf

Carbon fibre (chopped)

Chopped carbon fibre gives higher stiffness and strength than glass fibre while being lighter, and adds electrical conductivity and antistatic behaviour. It is used in high-value polymers such as PEEK, PPS and PA for aerospace, robotics and sports-equipment parts. Its cost is several times that of glass fibre.

Overview

Karbon Elyaf is the standard grade of the CF family in the additives group. It is used in applications such as peek and pps structural compounds, antistatic and esd parts, robot arms and lightweight mechanical parts. The grade with the right flow for injection, extrusion or another process is specified in the quotation together with your quantity and colour; TDS and SDS are sent with the quotation.

Fibre tensile strength3.500–4.000 MPa

Tensile strength is measured to ISO 527, melt flow rate to ISO 1133, heat deflection temperature to ISO 75 (1.8 MPa); flammability class per UL94. Depending on supplier and grade, values can fall outside this range.

Applications

  • PEEK and PPS structural compounds
  • Antistatic and ESD parts
  • Robot arms and lightweight mechanical parts
  • Sports and aerospace components

Documents

The supplier's technical data sheet (TDS) and safety data sheet (SDS) for Karbon Elyaf are sent by e-mail with the quoted grade; because the same code has different sheets at different suppliers we do not publish a single file on the site.
