Product catalog summary
Overview
PANEX® 30 products are high-purity, PAN-based carbon materials, carbonized to over 99% purity through Zoltek’s high-temperature batch carbonization process. These materials are designed for extreme applications requiring resistance to harsh temperatures and chemical environments. They are thermally stable and chemically pure.

Product Forms and Applications
  • Woven Fabrics: Made from spun yarn, these fabrics are tailored for various composite thicknesses, offering high tensile and shear strengths. They conform well to contours without wrinkling and have low oxidation rates. Applications include aircraft and automotive brakes, clutch plates, and gas diffusion layers for fuel cells.
  • Rovings & Spun Yarns: These carbon fibers are characterized by surface fibrils, making them suitable for high-performance applications like carbon/carbon preforms and braided compression packings and seals.
  • Felts: Produced from PYRON® oxidized PAN fibers and carbonized to over 99% carbon content, these felts are used in filtration media for high-temperature or corrosive environments and energy storage.

Technical Specifications
  • Density: 1.75 g/cc (0.063 lb/in³)
  • Carbon Content: 99.9%
  • Oxidation Rate: 1% per hour at 932°F (500°C)
  • Tensile Strength: 1,552 MPa (225 Ksi)
  • Tensile Modulus: 221 GPa (32 Msi)
  • Thermal Conductivity: 0.21 Btu*in/hr*ft*F (0.31 W/m*k) at 23°C and 0.51 Btu*in/hr*ft*F (0.74 W/m*k) at 600°C
  • Specific Heat: 0.99 Btu/lb*F (0.741 W*sec/g*K) at 23°C and 0.232 Btu/lb*F (1.72 W*sec/g*K) at 600°C

Panex 30 Brochure-1

Thermal Management Solutions PANEX® 30 products are PAN based materials that are >99% carbonized. These high-purity products are derived from Zoltek’s high temperature batch carbonization process. They are most often used in extreme applications that demand resistance to harsh temperature and chemical environments. All PANEX® 30 materials are thermally stable and chemically pure. Rovings & Spun Yarns: PANEX® 30 carbon fiber yarns are >99% carbonized and have a density of 1.75 g/cc. These yarns are characterized by their many surface fibrils protruding in various directions, making them ideally suited for high performance applications including carbon/carbon and other refractory composites. Rovings & Spun Yarn Applications: • Used for carbon/carbon preforms • Braided compression packings and seals Carbon Content Tensile Strength Tensile Modulus Yield Denier Twist Direction Technical Data for High Twist Roving Woven Fabrics: PANEX® 30 woven carbon fiber fabrics made from spun yarn that is tailored for a variety of finished composite thicknesses. These fabrics have high cross-ply tensile and interlaminar shear strengths in composite materials. Another advantage of these fabrics is their contour conformation without wrinkling. PANEX® 30 fabrics are thermally stable and chemically pure with low oxidation rates. Carbon Content Density Oxidation Rate Woven Fabric Applications: • Aircraft & automotive brakes • Clutch plates • Gas diusion layer for fuel cells
