Carbon Fiber

Carbon fiber is a high-carbon filament material with electrical conductivity, low thermal expansion and resistance to many acids, alkalis, salts and solvents. Direct data: Fiber diameter: 5–10 µm; Density: 1.75–1.95 g/cm³; Electrical resistivity: about 1.5–2.0 × 10⁻⁵ ohm·m; Use temperature: up to 150–200°C in polymer-bound brushes; Surface resistance: 10²–10⁶ ohms in grounded brush assemblies.

Grounded static-removal strips and precision contact on films, optics and electronics where very fine conductive fibers are required.

Carbon Fiber changes brush stiffness through filament diameter, free trim, density, crimp, and contact. Use finer filament and longer trim for conformable contact; use coarser filament, shorter trim, or higher density for stronger displacement or cutting.

Compare Carbon Fiber with Conductive nylon, anti-static filament, stainless micro-wire, standard nylon. Change material when wet stiffness, temperature, chemical resistance, conductivity, particle shedding, or surface marking becomes the limiting factor.
