Carbon Fiber Glasses Frames
Lightweight, High-Strength Frames for Wholesale and Custom OEM/ODM Partnerships
What is carbon fiber?
Carbon fiber is a high-performance polymer composed of tightly bonded carbon atoms, formed into thin filaments through a multi-stage heating process. These filaments are then bundled together—much like strands twisted into a rope—to create the strong, resilient material known as carbon fiber.
Understanding Filament Counts: The “K” Designation
Carbon fiber is classified based on the number of filaments in each bundle. For example, a bundle containing 3,000 filaments is referred to as 3K; 6,000 filaments is 6K, and so on. It’s important to note that a higher modulus does not always mean better performance, as it can also increase brittleness.
Lightweight & Strong
Carbon fiber is remarkably lightweight—even lighter than aluminum and titanium—while offering an exceptional strength-to-weight ratio.
High Tensile Strength
Thanks to its reinforcing filament structure, carbon fiber boasts one of the highest tensile strengths among engineering materials.
Chemical Resistance
With excellent resistance to most chemicals—including alcohols and acids—carbon fiber maintains integrity in demanding environments.
Rustproof & Corrosion-Resistant
Unlike metals, carbon fiber is non-corrosive and stable, making it ideal for humid or wet conditions without the risk of rust.
Temperature Tolerant
Capable of withstanding extreme high and low temperatures, carbon fiber retains its shape and dimensional stability under thermal stress.
High Flexibility & Elasticity
The material offers superior flexibility, able to bend significantly without permanent deformation while retaining most of its tensile strength.
