Chopped Fibers

Chopped Fibers

TORAYCA™ chopped fiber is used to reinforce injection and compression molding compounds with various matrices such as thermoset/thermoplastic resins, rubber, paper and cement. It is available in 3 to 24 mm lengths. End uses of the molded parts include brakes/clutches for automotive applications and housing parts for electrical applications.

We also manufactures chopped fiber from our large-tow carbon fiber ZOLTEK™. Designed with cleaner and more consistent flow rates in mind, ZOLTEK™ chopped fiber is produced with a high bulk density value. It is commonly compounded with general engineering thermoplastics (PC, Nylon, etc.) and high-temperature thermoplastic resins (PEEK, PEI, etc.), with the resulting composites offering industry-leading strength-to-weight and stiffness-to-weight ratios. ZOLTEK™ chopped fibers also distribute easily during compounding, improving processes and product performance. ZOLTEK™ PX35 chopped fibers are versatile and readily available in pellet, flake or stick form.
