Carbon fiber composite distinguishes itself from other materials with its ability to deliver exceptional strength without excess weight. Atlas Fibre is an industry leader in thermoset plastics manufacturing and an expert in carbon fiber composites. Learn more about the material, its properties, and uses to identify how your business can leverage its benefits.
Carbon fibers are long, thin filaments on bonded carbon atoms. We combine these with resins to produce a thermoset composite that offers low mass and density coupled with excellent strength.
Additional mechanical and physical properties* of carbon fiber composites include the following:

Carbon fiber reinforced plastics have lower conventional machinability than some other composites. The embedded fibers are more abrasive, which can lead to faster wear and tear on machining tools. Computer numerical control (CNC) machining often produces the best results. This material is available in tube, rod, and sheet form.
Carbon fiber composites provide many advantages in manufacturing, such as:
Applications for carbon fiber thermoplastic include:
