Carbon Fiber Manufacturing Technologies
At Noah Composites, we specialize in advanced carbon fiber composite technology tailored for high-performance sectors including automotive tuning, hydrofoil systems, and water sports equipment. Our production integrates industry-leading techniques, high-spec equipment, and scientific process control — ensuring strength, lightness, and visual perfection in every part we make.
Autoclave Curing
High-Pressure Prepreg Molding Composite Technology
Technical Principle
Autoclave molding uses vacuum bagging and elevated pressure (0.6–0.9 MPa) and temperature (120–180 °C) to consolidate and cure prepreg materials, resulting in high fiber volume fraction (60–65%) and minimal void content (<2%).
Applications
-
Carbon fiber hoods, roof panels, waterfoil wings
-
Used where aesthetic finish and structural integrity are paramount
Equipment Specs
-
Autoclave size: Ø1.5 m × 12 m length
-
Output finish: Gloss Ra < 1.6 µm
-
Tolerance: ±0.1 mm
Compression Molding
High-Pressure Heated Tooling Composite Technology
Technical Principle
Compression molding is a thermo-mechanical-chemical process where heat, pressure and time are optimized to ensure matrix infiltration and minimal voids.
Applications
-
Twin-cavity mold production for mast parts, interior panels, and hydrofoil wings
-
Ideal for medium-to-high volume parts
Process Details
-
Cycle time: 20–30 mins
-
Mold: CNC-machined steel plates
-
Accurate temperature & pressure control
Bladder Molding
Internal Pressure Forming for Complex Shapes
Technical Principle
Bladder molding uses an inflatable bladder inside the composite layup to apply internal pressure during curing, achieving uniform compaction for hollow or complex shapes.
Applications
-
Ideal for handlebars, spoilers, ducts, and tubing
-
Excellent for hollow, intricate geometries
Process Details
-
Uses silicone bladders & aluminum molds
-
Heated via oven or integrated mold
-
Cycle time: 60–90 mins
