Traditionally, carbon fiber tows were used in thermoset composite applications but are being incorporated into thermoplastics more and more.
Composition
The majority of production carbon fibers are made from the precursor polyacrylonitrile (PAN).

Reinforcement of steel to reduce weight and provide:
• Corrosion resistance
• Improved dent resistance to withstand windborne debris
• Structural performance to meet regional wind load
requirements
• Improved resistance to corrosion and
moisture degradation
• Increased dent resistance up to 60% vs.
unreinforced metal
• Enabled reduction in thickness of sheet
metal while maintaining structural
performance
