ZOLTEK PX35 carbon fiber has market-leading properties at a market-leading price. ZOLTEK products are increasing the energy output of wind turbines, creating more fuel efficient vehicles, and lifting other industries to new levels of performance.
Automotive - Our cost-effective solutions and our ability to provide long-term price and supply commitments has many automotive manufacturers turning to ZOLTEK as a resource for increasing the efficiency and value-structure of their processes.
Wind Energy - ZOLTEK PX35 carbon fiber is the industry standard for carbon fiber wind energy reinforcement
Friction Resistance - Our carbon braking materials are manufactured to withstand extreme braking conditions that demand resistance to harsh temperature and chemical environments.
Civil Engineering - ZOLTEK PX35 fabrics are often utilized in the repair or upgrade of concrete structures including bridges, columns, and beams.
Marine - Tough, durable carbon composite materials stand up to the extremes of marine environments.
Energy Storage - Carbon fiber based energy storage solutions balance power and energy output with grid demand and allow for energy generation and transmission optimization.
Sporting Goods - The high-strength, high modulus and light-weight properties of carbon fiber have taken sporting goods to the next level of performance.
3D Printing - Our carbon fiber enables the production of cost-efficient filament for the manufacture of structural production parts and prototypes.
Oil & Gas - ZOLTEK’s deepwater products provide less weight and more stiffness and strength to deepwater oil exploration – enabling deepwater systems to operate at depths unreachable with traditional materials.
Pressure Vessels - The benefits of carbon fiber as a light-weight alternative to other materials combined with its durability and corrosion resistance properties have been driving innovation for decades.
