Specification table
Chopped fiber range
Chopped fiber performance depends on matrix compatibility and compounding conditions. Customer trials are recommended.
| Grade | Typical length | Typical diameter | Sizing by order | Packaging by order | Indicative use |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| FRPH-CCF3 | 3 mm typical | Approx. 7 µm typical | EP / PA / PP / custom by order | Bag/carton by order | Fine compounds |
| FRPH-CCF6 | 6 mm typical | Approx. 7 µm typical | EP / PA / PP / custom by order | Bag/carton by order | Injection molding and resin compounds |
| FRPH-CCF12 | 12 mm typical | Approx. 7 µm typical | EP / PA / PP / custom by order | Bag/carton by order | Higher reinforcement demand |
| FRPH-CCF25 | 25 mm typical | Approx. 7 µm typical | Custom by order | Bag/drum by order | Specialty composites |
Product overview
How Chopped Fiber is used.
The overview explains typical buyer context without replacing customer testing, engineering validation or official batch documents.
Chopped Carbon Fiber is made by cutting continuous carbon fiber tow into controlled lengths. It can be used as a reinforcement or functional additive in thermoplastic, thermoset, cementitious and friction materials.
Short fiber length and sizing are selected according to compounding method, resin compatibility, feeding behavior and final part properties.
FRP HOME can discuss standard 3 mm, 6 mm and 12 mm chopped carbon fiber, with custom length and sizing by project requirement.
