The strength-to-density ratio of carbon fibre is higher than any other metal used in vehicle manufacturing. Moreover, carbon fibre is rust-proof which increases its durability more contrary to metal auto parts.

When used in the right places in the right vehicle parts, it optimizes the vehicle’s safety. It can shield the people in the vehicle to a great extent if it’s used on the upper portion or sides of the vehicle. However, it is just an example but is an excellent way of using carbon fiber in cars effectively. When the carbon fiber sheets are laid into this mold, the mold’s two halves are then closed–but not all the way. By leaving the two dies just shy of sealing, then injecting the resin, Nissan’s engineers discovered that the resin would more swiftly spread through the grooves and completely permeate the mold. The summers in UAE are harsh and parking carbon fibre cars directly under the sunlight can cause significant damage.

However, these parts are different from metal parts and need particular care. This embedded fiber patch will reinforce the location of the vacuum port. More EZ~Spray™ Silicone 20 is applied over the tool, including the embedded fabric patch. EZ~Spray™ Silicone 20 can be sprayed in very thin sections, yet is extremely strong and tear-resistant. The gel coat is backed with fiberglass and resin for added strength.

Flatting is the process of rubbing down the surface of the part to remove any ripple or ‘wobble’ from the surface. The standard of flatting is key to how professional the surface of the finished part will be so take your time on this stage and try to get the surface as flat as possible. You must NOT allow the previous layer of resin to cure past the ‘tack’ stage before applying the next layer of resin.

Pay particular attention when skinning plastic parts (such as ABS interior trim parts) to make sure the entire surface is thoroughly scratched with the abrasive paper. It can’t be melted down and reformed like most metals as carbon fibre gets its ‘powers’ from aligned strands. It can be chemically dissolved but this results in shorter and more jumbled fibres than new ones, reducing strength.
