Carbon Fiber

Carbon Fiber (Regular, High Tenacity, High Modulus): 75 percent lighter than steel but 10 times as strong, carbon fiber is a advanced material that is attracting attention for its ability to increase the efficiency of energy use through weight reduction. The global market demand for carbon fiber is growing by more than 10% every year, and having attained a production capacity of 2,000 tons in 2013, Hyosung Advanced Materials aims to join the ranks of the industry’s top players by 2025.

Applications

Industrial purposes

Carbon fiber is used for pressure vessels, civil engineering and construction, core materials for wires, and general industrial purposes.
Aviation

Carbon fiber is used as structural materials and interior materials for aircrafts.
Sports/leisure

Carbon fiber is used for golf clubs, fishing rods, high-end bikes, racquets, and high-end leisure vessels.
