Carbon Fiber Coatings Market: Definition and Introduction

Carbon fiber coatings are used to coat parts to match a particular body color or display a clear lacquer so as to protect the coated substrate from UV degradation. The process of application of carbon fiber coatings is a lengthy process that involves the readying of the substrate to be coated with the carbon fiber coating, a process called abrading.

This is undertaken manually in the coating preparation area by means of air-driven sanders. Prior to the application of carbon fiber coatings, the substrate material is meticulously degreased to eliminate unnoticed particles and agents prior to the coating process. Later, the coating process commences achieving the required application quality, after which carbon fiber coatings are polished.

Carbon fiber coatings have distinct looks, including industrial, textured, or charcoal gray. They are highly preferred on account of the aesthetic appeal they provide to the finished products. Besides, they find applications in many industries such as automotive, aerospace & defense, domestic appliances, and other connections.

Carbon Fiber Coatings Market: Key Trends & Drivers

Automakers have been augmenting the use of lightweight aluminum and carbon fiber so as to achieve superior fuel economy. This has been translating into several changes in the process of treating & painting surfaces; however, the application of carbon fiber coatings is a challenging task. Even though the substrate or panel surface is smooth, there are technical issues with regard to the coating method used.

For instance, most automotive paint shops deploy electrostatic systems, which run a minor electrical current through the body panel. This generates an electromagnetic charge that attracts the misted paint molecules, thereby creating even coverage coats and a lesser overspray than gravity-driven processes. However, in the case of the application of carbon fiber coatings, the material is not uniformly conductive.
