CFK (Carbon reinforced plastics) is manifold used in many branches of the industry, i.e. in aerospace, automotive manufacture or in sports equipment manufacture, such as bicycle frames, tennis rackets or fishing rods. Tapes, cords or sleeves are used in multiple areas
- extremely light and still very stable
- constructible properties (formability and / or thermoformable)
- anisotropic structures possible
- corrosion
- Light weight yet rigid
- high strength and high tensile strength, elasticity modulus properties
- low weight
- fatigue strength
- wear-resistant conductivity and thermal stability
- low thermal expansion
- vibration damping
- electrical conductivity
- electromagnetic protection
- X-Ray transmission (radiolucent)
