Carbon Fabrics
Military Combat Helicopter utilizing carbon fabrics
BGF is the premier weaver of high performance carbon fabric for the most demanding applications in the composites industry. Carbon fabrics are utilized to sustain maximum structural integrity without adding significant weight. Carbon fabrics exhibit excellent thermal properties and are capable of withstanding temperatures of 1500șC without substantial loss to the fiber properties.

BGF offers a variety of PAN and Pitched based carbon fabrics utilizing 3K, 4K, 6K, and 12K carbon fibers. The Cheraw, South Carolina facility is dedicated solely to the manufacture of high performance fabrics for the composites industry.
