BORON FIBER

Produced in single-filament reactors by Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD), boron fiber exhibits a unique combination of High Strength, High Modulus and Large Diameter.

Elemental boron is deposited on a fine tungsten wire substrate and produced in diameters of 4.0-mil (102-micron) and 5.6-mil (142-micron).

The resulting fiber is essentially amorphous boron with a fully borided-tungsten core.

The textured surface provides an excellent interface in resin-matrix composites, eliminating any need for sizing treatments.

Primarily used in resin-matrix composites it is available as a unidirectional prepreg tape with 250ºFand 350ºF cure epoxies.
