Specialty Fibers Shaping the Future
High performance organic fibers are generally characterized by
their outstanding tensile strength and stiffness, as well as
resistance to heat, fire, and chemical agents that normally degrade
conventional fibers. Applications include use in aerospace,
biomedical, civil engineering, construction, protective apparel,
geotextiles, and electronics.
Carbon fibers are used primarily as reinforcing agents in
high-performance composites with synthetic resin matrices such as
epoxies, polyimides, vinyl esters, phenolics, and certain
thermoplastics. Major advances in technology and processing have
dramatically expanded the demand for high-performance carbon
fibers. The introduction of higher-volume and lower-cost fibers and
gains in productivity have reduced the manufacturing costs of
carbon fibers.
With 20+ types of specialty fibers and a $14 Billion market share,
