Product catalog summary
Product Overview: Zoltek's Panex® 35 Chopped Fiber (Type -65) is a newly developed fiber format characterized by high bulk density, ensuring cleaner and more consistent flow rates. It maintains integrity from packaging through processing and distributes easily during compounding, enhancing process and product performance.
Mechanical and Electrical Properties: The fiber exhibits high strength and modulus, low density, electrical conductivity, dimensional stability, low thermal expansion, and excellent friction/wear properties.
Recommended Use: Suitable for engineering thermoplastics such as PC, PA, POM, PBT/PET. Applications include RFI/EMI shielding for electronic devices, wear-resistance for structural/mechanical parts, and weight reduction with dimensional stability in automotive components.
Material Specifications:
  • Sizing Content: 2.75% by weight
  • Moisture Content: 0.20% maximum
  • Unpacked Bulk Density: 425 g/L (26.5 lb/ft³)
  • Fiber Length: 6 mm (0.25 in)
Typical Properties:
  • Carbon Fiber Loading: 10% - 30%
  • Tensile Strength: 150 MPa (24 ksi)
  • Tensile Modulus: 15 GPa (2.5 msi)
  • Elongation: 3.3% - 2.3%
  • Flexural Strength: 200 MPa (37.5 ksi)
  • Flexural Modulus: 11 GPa (2.3 msi)
  • Izod Impact - Notched: 100 J/m (1.9 ft-lb/in)
  • Izod Impact - Unnotched: 800 J/m (15 ft-lb/in)
Packaging: Each pallet contains 45 boxes with a net weight of 1,800 lb (816 kg). Each box measures 14.5” x 14.5” x 14.5” and contains 40 lbs (18.1 kg) of fiber. Available in 500 lb (227 kg) super sacks.
Certification: Manufactured in accordance with Zoltek’s published data, with a Certificate of Conformance provided with each shipment.
