Rayon-Based Carbon Fabric

Rayon-Based Carbon Fabric is a high-performance material with excellent thermal stability and physical properties at extreme temperatures. Often used to create carbon phenolic composite ablatives, Rayon-Based Carbon Fabric has a lower thermal conductivity than alternative carbon-based materials. FMI’s Rayon-Based Carbon Fabric is designed for rocket motor nozzle and re-entry applications, targeting enhanced ablative performance over a range of thermal environments.
