Carbon Surfacing Veil is an advanced, non-woven carbon fiber veil incorporating carbon fibers (approx. 1″ in length) bonded together in a random fiber matrix. The non-woven construction allows a resin-rich layer surface that increases chemical stability and reduces the risk of micro-cracks forming in the composite surface.

Carbon veils are used on the inner surface of FRP ducting, exhaust stacks, and other gas handling equipment to eliminate the hazards associated with the build-up of static electricity.

It is compatible with all epoxy and polyester resin systems and can be used to provide a smooth covering for bulk carbon composite structures.

Carbon surfacing veils are applied directly against the mold or the top of the product to prevent osmosis and fiber print-through from glass fibre.

Surface treatment

Carbon veil is not intended for structural use, it has two very important functions.

First, it can be placed in the mold directly behind the surface coat to minimize the print-through of the heavier reinforcing cloths applied later.

This thin-out coating also permits some surface sanding of finished parts without cutting into the reinforcing fabric below.

The second-largest use is with sandwich cores.

A carbon surfacing veil mat may be placed directly over the core to maintain the optimum bond-line thickness. The veil is also effective at keeping excess resin from draining into cells of honeycomb cores when a vacuum is not being used.

Lightweight, High stiffness to weight ratio
Low thermal expansion

Sports Goods Applications

Carbon fibre veils and mats, aramid and PBO veils and mats, and veils and mats from blended fibres can be used in a range of sports goods applications.

Fly rods, kayaks, skis, bicycles, and boats are just some of the sports equipment using our products.

Our materials improve aesthetics, impact and wear resistance, interlaminar shear strength etc in a variety of sporting applications.
