Product Information
Fabrics *
PANEX® 30 woven carbon fiber fabrics made from spun yarn that is tailored for a variety of finished composite thicknesses. These fabrics have high cross-ply tensile and interlaminar shear strengths in composite materials. Another advantage of these fabrics is their contour conformation without wrinkling. PANEX® 30 fabrics are thermally stable and chemically pure with low oxidation rates.
Applications of PANEX® 30 woven fabrics include carbon-carbon composites and other processes where chemical vapor infiltration or prepregging is required.

Roving
PANEX® 30 ROVING is manufactured with high twist to improve its handling characteristics. The roving is widely used as a baseline material for the manufacture of friction clutches and brakes. Thick fabrics woven of PANE® 30 HIGH TWIST ROVING allow for efficient buildup during fabrication of composite substructures.

Felts *
Zoltek’s needlepunched felt is produced from PYRON® oxidized PAN fibers and later carbonized to >99% carbon content in our vacuum furnaces. Current applications include filtration media in high temperature and/or corrosive environments and energy storage. The unique properties of our PANEX® 30 carbon felts are optimal for complex thermal, corrosive or conductive applications.
