When working in construction or other industrial settings, understanding the properties of the materials you are working with is essential. Knowing whether or not a material is conductive or insulating is important for both the engineering and design of a product. Understanding material properties is also essential for health and safety concerns too. As carbon fiber [...]
Do you have an idea for a product but aren’t quite sure which material would be best suited for its functional needs? You may have found yourself considering carbon fiber as your material of choice. You’ve likely also heard that it could be quite expensive. Though it is true that carbon fiber can be expensive, [...]
Have you heard about carbon fibre but aren’t quite sure what it really is? Carbon fibre composites can seem complex as not all are created equally, yet they can be one of the strongest materials around. Though strength is typically associated with metals such as steel, carbon fibre can be stronger and also significantly lighter too. [...]
There’s no doubt that carbon fiber can be incredibly strong. Its lightweight properties also make it highly versatile and usable for applications where metals would be impractical or even impossible. But just how durable and strong is carbon fibre? As carbon fibre composites can vary in quality, there is no set answer though strong carbon fibre [...]
In This Post Is Carbon Fiber Stronger than Steel? Is Carbon Fiber Stronger than Aluminum? Is Carbon Fiber Stronger than a Diamond? Is Carbon Fiber Stronger than Plastic? Is Carbon Fiber Stronger than Titanium? Is Carbon Fiber Stronger than Kevlar®? What Makes Carbon Fiber so Strong? Are you considering choosing carbon fiber as a material for [...]
When it comes to the defence industry, Kevlar® is one of the most widely used composite materials. Suitable for a wide range of defence-related products, Kevlar® is an affordable, practical, and versatile material that has become a necessity for performance and safety needs. Kevlar® is also used in other applications for industries such as the aerospace and [...]
If you are looking to have a product manufactured with a composite material, it is more than likely that you will have come across both fiberglass and carbon fiber as options. Though carbon fiber and fiberglass sound similar, these two materials have unique properties and benefits that can make them more or less desirable depending on [...]
Are you in the beginning stages of product development and are feeling unsure about the wide range of composite materials available? Composites can seem complicated and there is a lot of terminologies to get accustomed to when looking into composite fabrication. Although it can be quite technical, we want to help make composite material fabrication approachable [...]
FRP is a strong and lightweight material that is often used in construction. Due to its properties, it is often more versatile and performance-forward than traditional materials such as wood or concrete. With its corrosion-resistant properties and incredible durability, it is no surprise that FRP is a top choice in many construction projects. Though FRP is [...]
