Static Dissipation
By physically manipulating the structure of PAN based carbon fiber during our heat treatment process we are able to manufacture materials with a tailored resistivity. Subsequent processing allows us to further control the electrical properties of both the fibers and their woven and nonwoven forms.
Multi-spectral Signature Reduction
By tailoring the properties of the individual fibers we eliminate the necessity of blended nonwovens for dissipation of a signal across their respective surfaces. Layering of the isotropic media allows for reduction of signature at multiple wavelengths. Combining the latter products with camouflage veils allows for further protection from visual interception.
EMI Shielding
Many of our products are subjected to secondary processes such as plating, CVD, et al. Our ability to modify the fiber as a continuous tow, chopped strand and in its finished forms allows for optimum flexibility for our customers as they work towards a tailored solution with the end user.
Static Brushes
By tailoring the linear resistance of a continuous carbon tow we serve as the sole supplier for Xerox and others as they lead the printing industry in the feed performance of their non-contact static dissipative brushes.
Charge Sensitive Tooling
Intel and others are reaping the benefits of compression molded composites comprising our milled fibers. Once again, our ability to tailor the volume resistivity of carbon fiber allows our customers to provide adaquate dissipation of static charges to prevent damage to sensitive components in their manufacturing processes.
Dissipative Rods
By combining our ability to control the electrical properties of a continuous tow with our surface treatment technologies we have successfully developed materials for pultrusion into static dissipative rods that are predominantly used on the trailing edge of aircraft wings.
