CHOPPED CARBON FIBRE
Carbon fibre chopped strands are available in
various lengths to give the optimum aspect ratio, coated with specifically
formulated binders to give superior compatibility to various polymer or resin
matrices. These are suitable for thermoplastic composites through extrusion,
compression or injection processes or thermoset composites through BMC or SMC.
The milled fibres can also be suitable for plastics and rubber based moulding
items where thermo-conductivity, electrical conductivity, lightweight,
mechanical strength, thermal and dimensional stability are important.

The chopped strands are generally
6mm length for plastic compounding and between 3 and 108mm for
BMC and SMC process.
The milled fibres are generally supplied
with a mean size of 50 and 120 microns.
