SGL Group has developed and started serial production of an innovative carbon fiber, thus expanding its material portfolio. Bearing the name SIGRAFIL C T50-4.8/280, the new fiber is characterized by a high Young’s modulus, making it ideal for aerospace applications. Pressure vessels, drive shafts, profiles, and sheet molding compounds (SMCs) are other applications, as the fiber meets high mechanical requirements thanks to its high stiffness and strength.
At JEC World in Paris from March 6-8, 2018, the new carbon fiber will be presented to the public for the first time, and will then be available for delivery.
