Carbon fiber and carbon fiber cloth consist of bulk, chopped fibers, continuous strands or woven cloth forms of carbon or graphite. Carbon and graphite are used in reinforcing composites as well as other specialized electrical and thermal applications.
Carbon occurs in a variety of forms such as vitreous carbon, pyrolytic graphite, hexagonal graphite and polycrystalline diamond (PCD). Carbon and graphite materials have high refractoriness while diamond has the highest hardness of all known materials.
Ceramic insulation and textiles are fibrous refractories or thermal insulation products that consist of ceramic fibers in bulk, cloth, batting, paper or rope forms.
Fibers and filaments consist of bulk, chopped fibers or strands and continuous monofilaments of materials and are used in reinforcing composites as well as other specialized electrical and thermal applications.
