Product catalog summary
Overview
PANEX® 30 products are high-purity, PAN-based materials that are over 99% carbonized. These materials are derived from Zoltek’s high-temperature batch carbonization process, making them suitable for extreme applications requiring resistance to harsh temperature and chemical environments. All PANEX® 30 materials are thermally stable and chemically pure.
Woven Fabrics
PANEX® 30 woven carbon fiber fabrics are made from spun yarn tailored for various composite thicknesses. These fabrics offer high cross-ply tensile and interlaminar shear strengths and conform to contours without wrinkling. They are thermally stable, chemically pure, and have low oxidation rates.
  • Applications: Aircraft & automotive brakes, clutch plates, gas diffusion layers for fuel cells.
Rovings & Spun Yarns
PANEX® 30 carbon fiber yarns are characterized by surface fibrils, making them ideal for high-performance applications such as carbon/carbon and other refractory composites.
  • Applications: Carbon/carbon preforms, braided compression packings, and seals.
Felts
Zoltek’s needlepunched felt is produced from PYRON® oxidized PAN fibers and carbonized to over 99% carbon content. These felts are optimal for complex thermal, corrosive, or conductive applications.
  • Applications: Energy storage, filtration media in corrosive environments.
Technical Specifications
  • Density: 1.75 g/cc (0.063 lb/in3)
  • 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, 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, 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
