A lab-scale treatment of carbon fabric gave epoxy laminates better flame resistance and strength together. No production data or cost yet, so nothing to act on yet for aerospace or industrial carbon-epoxy specifications.
Lab laminates of hybrid epoxy released far less heat in cone calorimeter tests, at one thickness and one heat flux. HB is a basic plastics rating, not a building fire class, so nothing to act on yet.
Aerospace pull on carbon fibre and prepreg stays firm, with Airbus taking orders faster than it builds. That keeps aerospace-grade fibre lines busy, but for roofing, fleece or resin buyers there is nothing to act on yet.
