Carbon Fiber Bathtub

Relative to shower, soak in the bathtub of warm water could effectively relieve tension and fatigue, it is a good treatment for bad cold in the chilly winter. Bathtub can be found anywhere, and you may find there are a wide variety of styles to browse. Different materials, different functions, different shapes, how to divide bathtub correctly?here we clear up the overall bathtub classification for you.

Carbon fiber or CF has not only inherent intrinsic carbon material properties, but also has the function of soft and processablity like textile fibers; it is a new generation of reinforcing fibers. Compared with traditional fiber glass, it has three times higher Young’s modulus which means low elasticity. Carbon fiber with outstanding corrosion resistance will not dissolve and expand under organic solvents, acids and alkalis. Some scholars put the PAN CF into the NaOH solution, 30 years past, it still keep the same fiber configuration.

Carbon Fiber Structure

Carbon fiber is microcrystalline graphite materials by carbonization and graphitization process of organic fibers. The microstructure of carbon fiber is similar to artificial graphite which is turbostratic or graphitic with hybrid structure.

Carbon fiber is a new material with superior mechanical properties. Its specific gravity is only a quarter of steel, but the tensile strength of carbon fiber reinforced plastic(CFRP)is above 3500Mpa, 7-9 times than steel. We could prospect that carbon fiber has broad application in engineering.

From the excellent performance of these new composite materials such as polymer composites, ceramic matrix composites, we totally believe that we are stepping into a composite materials era which will replace of steel shortly.

Carbon Fiber Applications

Carbon fiber can be processed into fabrics, carpets, seats, belts, paper and other materials. Traditionally, carbon fiber is used as insulation materials; it is generally not used alone, but as a reinforcing material added into the resin, metal, ceramics, concrete and other materials to form composite materials.Carbon fiber reinforced composite materials can be used as aircraft structural materials, electromagnetic shielding materials, artificial ligaments and also used for the manufacture of rockets, motor boats, industrial robots, automotive leaf spring and the drive shaft etc. of course, the strongest demands especially come from aircraft & aerospace, wind energy as well as automotive industry.

Since 1994, with the academic research from long carbon fiber to short carbon fiber, the technology and product of hearing material produced by carbon fiber gradually come into the fields of military and civilian. In china, we produce cables for national grid by long carbon fiber. Meanwhile, the carbon fiber heating products, carbon fiber far infrared therapy products had already stepped into individual families too.

Creative Application as Carbon Fiber Bathtub

In Austria of Europe, a new company named Corcel Design & Innovation GmbH which locates in Mozart’s birthplace Salzburg, produces its first product as carbon fiber bathtub whose size is 2430mm long, 1230mm wide and 640mm tall with 330 liter capacity.This kind of bathtub is manufactured by high quality carbon fiber with the diameter as 0.003 to 0.005mm, they take about 7 months to finish its production. The charming carbon fiber bathtub is very delicate with clear line, and the color is very different from standard white bathtub, it is mysterious black, surface coated by luxury car polish. This unique carbon fiber bathtub is anti-power, anti-corrosion and won’t affect by the temperature. Corcel will only produces limited 51 pcs bathtubs every year to the worldwide and the price is 52, 000 euro of each, they will be officially on sale at the end of the year.

Carbon Fiber Bathtub

While you first glance at the carbon fiber bathtub, you must be very shocked by its unprecedented design, unique aerodynamic shape, clear lines, pure curves, and generous bathing space, this art bathtub plan was selected from 24 concepts submitted by artists and designers. Compared with traditional acrylic bathtub and ceramic bathtub, this carbon fiber bathtub benefits from its improved heat-retention features.

According to Corcel producer, the lead time of the carbon fiber bathtub is very long, at least takes about 42 days because of its production process is very complex. Recently, Corcel expects to start its first comprehensive production line for all the necessary and luxury sanitary wars for worldwide sophisticated private customer, highest starred hotels and yachts.

The carbon fiber bathtub called No.1, its special design looks like a race car, can you image having a bath in the unusual‘car bathtub’?
