A thin, short, rectangular fiber cut from unidirectional carbon fiber commonly combined with resin to add strength and stiffness to parts. Chopped Carbon Fiber is a short, thin, rectangular flake type fiber cut from unidirectional carbon fiber and is commonly combined with resin to create a mixture which delivers industry-leading, high strength-to-weight and stiffness-to-weight ratios. When combined with resin, the mixture adds strength and stiffness to bonds, reinforce parts and fills gaps and cavities. Additionally, chopped fiber can be used in compression and injection molding compounds to manufacturer parts. The finished products exhibit high strength and modulus, excellent fatigue and creep resistance, low thermal expansion, electrical and thermal conductivity, excellent friction and wear resistance and low shrinkage.
