Description

PAN-based ultra-high strength carbon fiber comparable to Toray T1200S. Designed for structural composites requiring very high tensile strength while maintaining high modulus and low density. Suitable for aerospace-grade prepregs and filament winding.

Comparative overview

Carbon fiber — Intermediate-modulus carbon

Strengths: Premium balance of high tensile strength, stiffness and usable strain; a common choice for weight-critical primary structures.

When to use: Select for primary aerospace structures, high-performance pressure vessels, launch/space hardware and demanding sporting structures.

Key tradeoffs: Higher cost than standard-modulus carbon; conductive, galvanically active against metals and less impact-tolerant than aramid/UHMWPE hybrids.

Qualitative ratings (1–10 scale)

Relative cost	8/10 — High — aerospace-grade PAN carbon with higher modulus and strength than standard grades.
EM transparency	1/10 — Very poor — electrically conductive and therefore poor for RF-transparent structures.
Temperature / fire resistance	6/10 — Good — non-melting but oxidation in air and matrix degradation limit practical fire resistance.
Impact / penetration resistance	7/10 — High — balanced strength and strain give moderate-high impact potential; laminate architecture remains decisive. Stored TDS elongation: 2.3%.
Electrical / thermal conductivity	7/10 — High — electrically conductive with moderate axial thermal transport.
Specific tensile strength	10/10 — 10/10 \| 3888.9 kN·m/kg \| Product TDS
Atmospheric durability	9/10 — Excellent — carbon fiber is intrinsically resistant to UV, moisture and salt exposure; long-term laminate durability is usually governed by sizing, matrix, galvanic coupling and interfaces rather than the fiber.
Sustainability (CO₂e)	5/10 — 19.85 kg CO₂e/kg fiber — High emissions — data quality: High
