Company claims to lower carbon fibre costs and increase output versus traditional carbon fibre technology
LeMond Carbon has announced the results of an independent technical audit conducted by Bureau Veritas (“BV”) of its carbon fibre manufacturing process. The audit was conducted on a pilot line at Deakin University’s Carbon Nexus facility in Geelong, Australia. The total oxidation time and material properties verified by BV support LeMond’s claims to lower costs and significantlDeakiny increase output versus traditional carbon fibre technology.
Bureau Veritas measured total oxidation times of sub-15 and sub-20 minutes over two separate production campaigns of 24K standard modulus (SM) carbon fibre, achieving fibre tow properties in excess of 270 GPa tensile modulus and 3,500 MPa tensile strength.
