Fibra de carbono is one of 32 materials in this atlas, grouped under advanced: history, structure, measured properties, process routes, uses, safety and market — not a product catalogue.
Scores compare Fibra de carbono with the rest of the atlas on strength, heat, fire behaviour, insulation, workability and circularity. They are editorial, not certificates.
Seven chapters follow. Fire and insulation claims name test families (Euroclass, ASTM E84, ISO 5660, KS F) rather than inventing a single safety number.
Introducción profunda
Deep dive: Fibra de carbono
Fibra de carbono (C (turbostratic graphite)) is a family of grades whose density ~1.8 g/cm³ fibre, heat band sublimes; resin burns, and fire letter fibre A1-ish; CFRP follows the matrix.
What “the material” actually is
Fibra de carbono is sold as grades, not as a single substance. Chemistry C (turbostratic graphite), density ~1.8 g/cm³ fibre, heat band sublimes; resin burns.
This atlas treats Fibra de carbono as a system: mill route, coatings, tests and the cavity it sits in.
Heat, fire and insulation
Conductivity note: high along fibre; low through-thickness in composites. Insulation score 24/100 is relative to 32 entries — metals lose, VIPs and aerogels win.
Fire letter in editorial use: fibre A1-ish; CFRP follows the matrix. Do not equate A1 with “safe in a blaze” or E with “illegal”. Assemblies decide.
How it is made and used
Origin: Edison carbon filament; Shindo/Watt 1960s PAN, Japan / UK / US. The process chapter follows feedstock → conversion → forming → finish → install.
Uses span buildings to defence / safety. Pairings matter: graphene.
Market and circularity
Producers below are landmarks, not an endorsement ranking. Prices are bands, not live quotes.
Circularity mark 26/100. Ask which scrap, which certificate, which year.
