The Problem: Finding Materials That Can Take The Heat

Do you make things that get hot? Many parts fail when they get too hot. This is a big problem.

Your car parts, bike parts, and airplane parts need to stay strong even when hot. Regular plastic melts. Metal gets too heavy. What can you use?

You need a material that:

  • Stays strong when hot
  • Is light
  • Does not break
  • Looks good

The Painful Truth About Heat Damage

When parts fail because of heat, bad things happen:

  • Car parts can melt
  • Bike parts can get soft
  • Airplane parts can break
  • Your good parts become trash
  • You lose money
  • People may get hurt

Each year, companies lose millions of dollars from heat damage. Your products need better materials to stop these problems.

The Solution: Heat-Resistant Carbon Fiber From SCOMP

We make carbon fiber parts that can take the heat! With our 28+ years making carbon fiber, we know how to make parts that stay strong even when hot.

Our custom carbon fiber products can help you make better things. We are a top China factory with full OEM/ODM service.

What Is Carbon Fiber?

Carbon fiber is thin strings of carbon all stuck together. It is:

  • Stronger than steel
  • Lighter than metal
  • Heat resistant
  • Looks cool

Carbon fiber is made from special stuff called PAN (polyacrylonitrile). First, we pull out the PAN from oil and coal. Then we make it into carbon fiber.

How Heat Resistant Is Carbon Fiber?

Pure carbon fiber can take very high heat. It is super heat resistant!

But most carbon fiber you use comes in a mix called CFRP (Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic). The heat it can take depends on what we mix with the carbon fiber.

Let’s look at how much heat different types can take:

Type of Carbon FiberHow Hot It Can GetWhat Happens
Pure Carbon FiberOver 2000°CStays strong
Epoxy Carbon FiberAbout 100°CGets soft
Carbon Ceramic MatrixOver 1500°CGood for planes
Carbon Fiber with Nickel300-500°CGood for fire

Why People Choose Our Carbon Fiber Products

  1. Expert Knowledge: 28+ years making carbon fiber
  2. Custom Made: We make what YOU need
  3. Heat Resistant: Our parts stay strong when hot
  4. Full Service: From idea to final part
  5. Quality First: We test everything

Carbon Fiber In Hot Places

Carbon fiber works great in many hot places:

1. Car Parts

Cars get hot! Engines can get to 100°C or more. Our carbon fiber car parts stay strong even near hot engines.

  • Engine covers
  • Hood vents
  • Exhaust shields
  • Brake cooling ducts

All these parts see high heat but our carbon fiber handles it well!

2. Motorcycle Parts

Bikes have even less space to keep heat away. Our carbon fiber motorcycle parts can take the heat right next to hot engines.

  • Exhaust guards
  • Heat shields
  • Engine covers
  • Gas tank covers

3. Fire Safety Gear

Some carbon fiber even goes in fire gear! With special coatings, carbon fiber helps keep firefighters safe.

4. Plane Parts

Planes see big heat changes. From -50°C high in the sky to 100°C+ on hot days. Our carbon fiber stays strong in all temps.

How We Make Heat-Resistant Carbon Fiber

Our process makes sure your parts can take the heat:

  1. We pick the right type of carbon fiber
  2. We use better resins that take more heat
  3. We test, test, test!
  4. We can add special coatings for extra heat help

Why Most Carbon Fiber Has Heat Limits

Most carbon fiber parts use epoxy that gets soft at about 100°C. But that’s not the full story!

The real problem is:

  • Regular epoxy gets soft at just 100°C
  • When it gets soft, the part can bend or break
  • Most shops only use basic epoxy
  • They don’t know how to make it better for heat

How We Fix The Heat Problem

At SCOMP, we:

  1. Use better resins that take more heat
  2. Create special mixes for hot spots
  3. Apply heat shields where needed
  4. Design parts to move heat away
  5. Test in real heat like your product will see

The Carbon Fiber Market Is Growing Fast

More people want carbon fiber every year. By 2033, experts say the carbon fiber market will be worth $37.15 billion!

Why? Because it works so well in hot places and tough jobs.

Real Case Study: Hot Engine Parts

A car maker came to us with a problem:

  • Their plastic engine covers were melting
  • Metal was too heavy
  • They needed something that looked cool

We made carbon fiber covers that:

  • Take heat up to 200°C
  • Are 70% lighter than metal
  • Look amazing
  • Don’t melt or warp

Now their cars run cooler and look better!

Special Types Of Heat-Resistant Carbon Fiber

We make many types for different heat needs:

1. Ceramic Matrix Carbon Fiber

This super tough stuff can take over 1500°C! It’s used in:

  • Rocket parts
  • Jet engines
  • Race car parts
  • Super hot machines

2. High-Temp Epoxy Carbon Fiber

Our special epoxy mix takes more heat:

  • Good to 200°C
  • Stays stiff when hot
  • Costs less than exotic types
  • Works for most hot car and bike parts

3. Nickel-Coated Carbon Fiber

When we add nickel, it can take even more heat:

  • Good to 500°C
  • Blocks heat from passing through
  • Helps in fire safety gear
  • Looks silver and cool [^7]

How To Tell If You Need Heat-Resistant Carbon Fiber

Your parts need heat-resistant carbon fiber if:

  • They get hotter than 80°C
  • They are near engines or exhaust
  • They sit in the sun for long times
  • Normal plastic melts there
  • Metal gets too hot to touch there

FAQ About Heat-Resistant Carbon Fiber

Can carbon fiber catch fire?

Pure carbon fiber is very hard to burn. But the resin we mix it with can burn at high heat. We can add fire-blocking stuff to make it safer. [^8]

How do I know if my parts need heat-resistant carbon fiber?

If they get hotter than 80°C or are near hot things like engines, you need heat-resistant types.

Does heat-resistant carbon fiber cost more?

Yes, a little more than regular carbon fiber. But much less than parts that keep breaking from heat!

How long does heat-resistant carbon fiber last?

With our special resins, 10+ years even in hot places.

Can you make any shape heat-resistant?

Yes! Any shape you need, we can make it heat-resistant.
