Carbon fibre
Carbon fibre reinforcement provides strength and rigidity.
Carbonfibres gives 4 times the E-modulus and 2-3 times the tensile strength of traditional glassfibre reinforcement.
Carbon-reinforcement is more expensive than fibreglass, but with a weight reduction of up to 40% compared to traditional materials, using carbon fibre is a good investment.
Today, carbonfibres is used primarily in the aircraft industry for wing and fuselage structures.
Results from using carbon fibre have been entirely positive. Low weight gives cost-effective and high-speed vessels; undeniably an environmentally friendly factor.
Brødrene Aa is internationally amongst the leading companies building vessels in carbonfibre. We have been using the vacuum infusion molding-process for more than a decade, in production of a great variety of composite products. Winning the JEC-Composite Awards 2005 proves our competence.
