Carbon fiber braided sleeves, lightweight and strong with tensile strengths over 3500 MPa, provide protection for wires and cables against high temperatures and environmental damage in automotive, aerospace, and other industries. They are flexible, fireproof, and resistant to extremes, with diameters ranging from 8mm to 80mm, and can endure up to 650oC .
Carbon fiber has a tensile strength of about 2,500-6,000 MPa, making it one of the strongest fibers, particularly when aligned in the same direction.
Carbon fiber retains its properties up to about 2,500° C in non-oxidizing environments, far surpassing many other fibers in terms of thermal stability.
The density of carbon fiber is around 1.5-2.0 g/cm³, significantly lighter than steel (7.85 g/cm³), contributing to its high strength-to-weight ratio.
Carbon fibers exhibit high modulus, i.e., stiffness, typically 200-700 GPa, which means they deform very little under load, ideal for aerospace, sports equipment, and automotive industries.
