Manufacturing Process
Carbon fiber has developed rapidly in recent years. However, there are various varieties of carbon fiber. Most of carbon fiber panels we commonly see in car interior panels is glass carbon fiber. These use resin to harden carbon fiber cloth to ensure proper cure, while these products would not be as strong and durable as the ones with prepreg autoclave process. Prepreg material is also the carbon fiber fabric premixed with perfect ratio resin meaning no excessive amount of resin in finished products, and we put the in-process carbon fiber into autoclave to have better cure and polymerization with high pressure(0.4Mps-0.6Mps) and high temperature (130℃-200℃). So that this ensures its strength being 2 times more than steel’s. Even the panel clip/buckle of our products could stand 30kg force.
Spraying
Our products use anti-UV clear coat to finish the product being able showcase the texture of dry carbon fiber and to provide protection.
Products
Our products feature lightweight and high strength in manufacturing process. Our diffusers weight around 0.6 kg to 0.9 kg, and front splitters weight around 0.4 kg to 0.6 kg. Bonnets is around 7 to 9 kg. Weights from different models.
