Himax® Chopped Fiber
Himax® Chopped Fiber was a rather newly-innovated product from a Malaysian group of public listed company, under the umbrella of Luster Group, which is located in the Northern part of Malaysia.
Nonetheless, Himax® Chopped Fiber have evolved from over 30+ years of field experiences and research works, especially on the speciality of the sizing technology, in the aim to provide sustainability, improved mechanical & electrical performance, aside from excellent feed-ability to maximize distribution in the compound. We aim to create a high-tech product, significantly enhancing properties in thermoset and thermoplastic applications.
Himax® Chopped Fibers are carbon fiber with excellent mechanical, electrical and thermal properties. In general, carbon fiber provides extremely high strength and stiffness with low weight, excellent electrical and thermal conductivity and higher heat distortion, which make it an ideal solution, thanks to their easy-to-handle bundle sizes and modifications that allow for use in high-temperature thermoplastics.
Himax® Chopped Fibers are 7mm in length in cylindrical-shaped form and are suitable for low and high temperature thermoplastic compounding processes as well as batch pre-blends. They are also excellent for making plastics or other non-conductive materials electrically conductive, such as adhesives, resin systems, coatings and specialty paper.
Whilst Himax® Chopped Fiber is primarily focused on the compounding application, there are many other products which can be make possible, such as chopped fiber for thermoset resin, water dispersible sized, as well as un-sized etc.
