    Boron fiber is produced by chemical vapor deposition and exhibits high compression strength, high modulus, and large diameter, providing superior compression properties to carbon fiber composites. It is deposited on tungsten wire in diameters of 4-5.6 mil and is essentially amorphous boron. It is primarily used in resin matrix composites as prepreg tape.

    Boron Fiber

    Boron Fiber is produced in single-filament reactors by chemical vapor deposition, boron fiber exhibits a unique combination of high compression strength,
    high modulus and large diameter. It provides superior compression properties compared to carbon fiber based composites.

    Elemental boron is deposited on a fine tungsten wire substrate and produced in diameters of 4.0-mil (102-micron) and 5.6-mil (142-micron). The resulting
    fiber is essentially amorphous boron with a fully borided-tungsten core.

    The textured surface provides an excellent interface in resin-matrix composites, eliminating any need for sizing treatments. Primarily used in resin-matrix
    composites it is available as a unidirectional prepreg tape with 250ºF and 350ºF cure epoxies.

    Unique Properties of Boron Fiber Composites

    N1•0b12b 2221No other composite material has higher compressive strength properties than
    Boron fiber & Hy-Bor® fiber composites

    •Adding Boron fiber to composites with standard & intermediate modulus fibers will increase the
    tensile & compression modulus allowing reduced thickness/ply count for equivalent stiffness

    •When using Hy-Bor®, a designer can reduce the laminate thickness resulting in higher
    performance at a lower mass

    •Hy-Bor® can reduce manufacturing costs & result in a net cost savings

    • Reduces processing steps like debulking

    • Reduces layup time due to lower ply count

    •Hy-Bor® is used in space applications like the Google Earth Cameras because its zero CTE &
    High Elastic Modulus

    •Boron & Hy-Bor® prepreg can be manufactured with epoxy, toughened epoxy, cyanate ester,
    cyanate siloxane, bismaleimides, phenolic & polyimide resins

    •No galvanic corrosion with boron fiber
