Do you really know chopped carbon fiber?

Chopped carbon fiber is made by mechanically cutting carbon fiber filaments. The length is generally measured in mm. Its basic performance mainly depends on the properties of its raw material-carbon fiber filaments. Due to the appearance of the pile of fixed length, for longer filaments, short fibers have the advantages of uniform dispersion in industrial use, various feeding methods, and simple processes, so they can be used in areas where filaments cannot be suitable.

Characteristics of chopped carbon fiber:

Carbon fiber chopped strands have the characteristics of light weight, high strength, high modulus, corrosion resistance, electrical conductivity, good shielding performance, and high wave absorption. They are mainly used in high-tech fields such as military industry and aerospace. With the rapid economic development, the excellent properties of carbon fiber are increasingly used in civil applications.

Application of chopped carbon fiber:

1. Reinforced modified plastics: nylon (PA), polypropylene (PP), polycarbonate (PC), phenolic (PF), polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), polyimide (PI), etc.;

2. Construction field: carbon fiber reinforced cement, conductive coating, anti-static ground level;

3. Electric heating field: conductive paper, electric heating plate, conductive surface felt, needle felt, etc.;

4. Shielding materials: manufacturing shielding smoke, shielding curtain walls, etc.;

5. Thermal insulation materials: carbon fiber reinforced refractory billets and bricks, carbon fiber reinforced ceramics, etc.;

6. New energy field: the power of fuel cell is good, etc.

It can be seen that the application of chopped carbon fiber is very wide, and it plays a very important role in our lives.
