Carbon Fiber Nylon 6 is a composite-based material that combines Nylon 6, a thermoplastic polymer, with carbon fibers to create a high-performance material with exceptional mechanical properties. The carbon fibers are dispersed throughout the Nylon 6 matrix in the form of microfibers, providing the material with enhanced strength, stiffness, and toughness. With a UL94 V-2 rating, the material has been tested and certified to meet specific standards for flammability and self-extinguishing properties. This makes it a suitable material for use in applications where fire safety is a concern.
