The difference between carbon fiber film and real carbon fiber

The difference between water transfer printed carbon fiber film and real carbon fiber

　　At present, many so-called "carbon fibers" in domestic cars are mostly evolved from water transfer printing technology. The carbon film is floating on the water surface and sprayed with an activator, waiting for a while. As long as the car parts are slowly immersed in water and rotated a few times, then picked up, washed, and dried, it becomes a "carbon fiber" resembling extreme carbon fibers!

Carbon fiber is a microcrystalline graphite material obtained from organic fibers through carbonization and graphitization treatment. Its microstructure is similar to artificial graphite, and it has a disordered graphite structure. Its mass is only one fourth of that of iron, but its strength can reach more than 10 times that of iron. Therefore, the manufacturing price of carbon fiber is high, and only four companies worldwide have mastered this technology, including two in the United States, one in Taiwan, and one in Japan. All domestic raw materials are imported, which is why a few are so high.

　　In terms of cost and cost alone, water transfer printed carbon fiber films and real carbon fibers can be said to be vastly different. Carbon fiber is absolutely light compared to wood and steel, while counterfeit ones are definitely not as light as real ones, and even feel like they are about the same weight as wood. If imitation carbon fiber can have some of the lightweight characteristics of carbon fiber and achieve good quality and affordable prices, it is also a good choice.
