CFRP carbon profiles is a light and strong material, which is widely used in the production of a variety of products used in our daily life. It should be noted that "P" in CFRP carbon profiles can represent not only "polymer", but also "plastic". What about its performance?

Light weight - traditional glass fiber reinforced composites use continuous glass fibers with a content of 70% (weight glass / total weight) and a density of typically 0.065 pounds per cubic inch.

High strength - although CFRP carbon profiles are light in weight, compared with glass fiber composite materials, CFRP carbon profiles per unit weight have higher strength and greater hardness. Compared with metal materials, this advantage is more prominent.

High cost - despite the excellent performance of CFRP carbon profiles, why is carbon fiber not widely used in product production? At present, the production cost of CFRP carbon profiles is too high. According to the current market situation (supply and demand), the type of carbon fiber (Aerospace vs Commercial Grade), the size of the fiber bundle, and the price of fiber are also different.

The price of carbon fiber raw materials per pound can reach 5-25 times the price of glass fiber. Compared with steel, the high cost of CFRP material is more prominent.

Strong conductivity - this can be both an advantage of carbon fiber composite materials and a defect in practical applications. Carbon fiber is extremely conductive, while glass fiber is insulating.

The above is the performance of CFRP carbon profiles. If you have other questions about this, please feel free to contact us.
