For projects requiring higher operating temperatures than standard carbon fiber parts can offer, Kumair makes high temperature carbon fiber capable of 500F and higher. Testing has shown that rigidity is maintained to over 500F, which short durations up to 550-600F possible. Sheets as large as 2'x4' and 1/4" thick or more can be made to order and parts CNC cut in the same way as any of our other flat sheet carbon fiber products. Kumair also has the capability to make custom molded parts using this process, for example tubes, angles, and more complex shapes. For assemblies that need to operate in high temperature environments, special adhesives are used to bond components together.

Weave Options for High Temperature Carbon Fiber Parts
Kumair has the ability to utilize any carbon fiber weave thicknesses and patterns to construct high temperature carbon fiber sheets, tubes, and custom molded parts.
Surface Finish Options and Applied Designs
Kumair offers standard pressed finish, as well as sanded finishes for high temperature carbon fiber components. High temperature spray clear coats are also possible, although typically high temperature carbon fiber parts are meant to be functional first and less often cosmetic.
CNC Cutting of High Temperature Carbon Fiber
Kumair works with customers to develop custom high temperature carbon fiber components and assemblies. For customers requiring CNC work, Kumair has the ability to CNC cut high temperature sheets and molded parts.
