Carbon short fibres (type HTS, thickness: 7 µm) coated with 35 - 40 % epoxy resin and made of homogeneous production remnants from the aircraft industry, so-called prepregs, by curing and milling to small pieces. Mean fibre length can be influenced by sieve perforation. A 4 mm -perforated sieve is usual and results in approx. 500 µm mean fibre length. The Recyclat A shows a very constant quality because of strictly monitored source material.

Recyclat B

Carbon short fibres containing glass fibre-percentage < 2%, coated with 35 - 40 % epoxy resin and made of CFRP reject components from the aircraft industry or other CFRP reject (scrap) parts. Mean fibre length depends on sieve perforation. A 4 mm -perforated sieve is usual and results in approx. 500 µm mean fibre length.
