What type of carbon fiber is used in our products?

We do not use fake plastic carbon fiber decals in our store; all products we sell are made of dry carbon fiber. When selecting materials, we adhere to a principle of zero compromise and insist on using high-end, top-tier composite materials.

In the field of automotive interiors, “dry carbon fiber” (Dry Carbon or Pre-Preg Carbon Fiber) is a high-end, performance-oriented composite material of the highest caliber. Unlike the ordinary “wet carbon” commonly found on the market, its defining characteristics lie in its extremely high manufacturing standards and refined texture.

I. What Is “Dry Carbon”? (The Core of Our Process)
Carbon fiber is referred to as “dry” because prepregs are used in the manufacturing process. Manufacturing process: Before leaving the factory, carbon fiber fabric has already been precisely “pre-impregnated” with thermosetting resin (typically epoxy) in exact proportions. When manufacturing interior components, workers directly lay this slightly dry, non-sticky prepreg into precision steel molds or carbon fiber molds. Key Process (Autoclave Molding): After laying, the material must be placed in an autoclave or high-pressure vacuum oven to cure and bake at high temperatures (typically above 130°C) and extremely high pressure. The high pressure squeezes out excess resin and completely eliminates microscopic air pockets within the material.

II. The “Core Advantages” of Using Dry Carbon in Automotive Interiors  Although automotive interiors do not bear extreme structural loads like the chassis or body, the use of dry carbon in interiors still offers advantages that ordinary plastics, wood trim, or wet carbon cannot match:

1. Ultimate Lightweight Design and High Rigidity: Thanks to the autoclave process, dry carbon achieves a golden balance between fiber and resin content (with minimal resin). Compared to wet carbon, which contains a large amount of excess resin, dry carbon interior components can be made 30%–40% lighter. Despite their extremely thin profiles (typically between 0.5 mm and 1 mm), they possess exceptionally high rigidity and will never feel loose or flexible when pressed.

2. Exceptional Weather Resistance (Resistant to Yellowing and Deformation) Automotive dashboards and door panels are frequently exposed to intense sunlight (with interior temperatures reaching over 70°C). With ordinary wet carbon fiber, prolonged exposure to high temperatures and UV radiation can cause the resin to yellow, bubble, or even crack and delaminate. Dry carbon is baked and cured at high temperatures during manufacturing, giving it exceptional thermal stability. Combined with high-grade UV-resistant clear coat, dry carbon interior components maintain their structural integrity without warping and resist yellowing for decades.

3. Ultra-Precise Installation Tolerances (OEM-Grade Fit) Interior components—such as center console panels, button edges, and the bezels of fully digital instrument clusters—require dimensional precision down to the millimeter level. Since dry carbon is molded in high-pressure steel dies, it exhibits virtually no dimensional deviation due to thermal expansion and contraction after cooling. This ensures that the seams between the carbon fiber panels and the vehicle’s physical buttons and screens are extremely uniform, preventing scratches or rattling noises (creaking).
