carbon365

carbon365 achieves 2–10 Ohm/sq sheet resistance at areal weights of 10–150 gsm. The wet-laid process produces extremely homogeneous fiber distribution compared to dry-laid alternatives, ensuring consistent porosity and electrical conductivity across gas diffusion layers in PEM fuel cells and electrolysers.

Wet-laid carbon fiber nonwovens like carbon365 achieve significantly more homogeneous fiber distribution than dry-laid alternatives. Fibers are suspended in water and deposited onto screens, producing isotropic sheets with uniform conductivity and consistent porosity — critical for electrochemical applications where uneven distribution causes local current density variations.

Carbon fiber paper and carbon fiber nonwoven are closely related wet-laid sheet materials based on carbon fibers. Papers typically use resin binders for higher stiffness, while nonwovens rely more on fiber entanglement and mechanical bonding. Both variants of carbon365 are produced by Phoenix Non Woven using wet-laid technology.

Yes. carbon365 is available for prototype and development quantities. Phoenix Non Woven supports joint development from initial material specification through to scalable production. Contact our team with your application requirements including target sheet resistance (2-10 Ohm/sq range), areal weight (10-150 gsm), and whether virgin or recycled carbon fibers are preferred.

Yes. The wet-laid process is fully compatible with recycled carbon fiber inputs. carbon365 can be produced using recycled fibers without sacrificing homogeneous fiber distribution — a benefit dry-laid processes cannot reliably deliver with recycled fractions. This enables sustainable material cycles while maintaining consistent electrical and mechanical properties.

carbon365 provides effective electromagnetic shielding in the kHz frequency range. The continuous conductive fiber network within the wet-laid sheet attenuates electromagnetic interference at areal weights as low as 10 gsm, suitable for lightweight EMI shielding in electronics housings, aerospace structures, and automotive components.

carbon365 covers areal weights from 10 gsm to 150 gsm, with ultra-light variants below 10 gsm currently in development. The wet-laid process achieves extremely uniform fiber distribution even at these low basis weights — a capability dry-laid processes cannot match. Sheet resistance is adjustable between 2 and 10 Ohm/sq across the full weight range.
