A New Take On Carbon Fiber

A New Take On Carbon Fiber

 

Carbon fiber has quickly become one of the most trendy products on the market. This lightweight and strong material can be used in a wide variety of fashions.

MightySkins has become the first on the market to create customizable carbon fiber laminate skins for laptops, smartphones, and other electronic devices. MightySkins believes that carbon fiber vinyl wraps should be more than durable. They should feature patterns, designs, and a plethora of image backgrounds that reflect your personal style and taste. Discover the benefits of a carbon vinyl wrap by reading more about this innovative material and how MightySkins is pioneering its use for commercial electronic devices.

What Is Carbon Fiber Laminate?

 

Carbon fiber is an incredibly strong fabric. It is renowned for its strength, modern aesthetic, and lightweight properties. In fact, carbon fiber's weight-to-strength ratio is beyond impressive; especially when you consider that vinyl carbon fiber is stronger than steel and lighter than its aluminum counterparts. The strongest available carbon fiber is actually five times stronger than comparable steel. Additionally, its lightweight component makes a 3D carbon fiber wrap the ideal protective choice for electronic devices.

 

What Makes Carbon Fiber So Strong?

You might be wondering how a carbon wrap can be so strong? It’s due to its unique microscopic crystalline structure. Tiny carbon atoms are bound together by microscopic crystals. These crystals are carefully aligned along the long axis of each fiber to produce thousands of thin strands. Remarkably, each strand has a diameter that is less than the width of a piece of human hair. These small strands are then twisted together to form a type of modern-age yarn. The yarn is then woven into a flexible fabric that can be carefully shaped into different shapes. The shapes can be used on cars, planes, and even as a black carbon fiber wrap for your laptop, tablet, smartphone, and other electronic devices. In some cases, manufacturers even create carbon fiber gadgets that can replace traditional parts.

Why Use A Vinyl Carbon Fiber Wrap?

There are several reasons why you might want to use a carbon fiber wrap.

  1. First and foremost, carbon fiber resists corrosion, which makes it a great choice if you need to protect all-weather devices.

  2. Carbon fiber also has a high level of energy absorption, is heat stable, and has a unique woven texture that gives it a sleek appearance.

  3. Finally, carbon fiber is incredibly durable, which makes it a great choice for protecting expensive devices in all types of conditions.

In short, carbon fiber wraps are a good-looking and highly effective product that is as versatile as it is a modern marvel. Read on to learn more benefits of this amazing material!

Common Benefits Of Carbon Fiber

For a futuristic look that is stronger than steel while weighing next to nothing, then look no further than carbon fiber. The additional benefits of carbon fiber include:

  • High tensile strength
  • Ultra lightweight

Fortunately, carbon fiber is a brilliant solution that can preserve the phone's appearance, while simultaneously minimizing the risk of wear and tear, or excessive damage from falls or liquid spills.

Thanks to the latest designs by MightySkins, carbon fiber has quickly become the thin but capable solution to your cell phone case personalization and protection woes.

Where To Buy Carbon Fiber?

Carbon fiber vinyl film is typically sold in rolls or sheets. If you have the technical skills, then you can use these rolls to create customized carbon fiber products. Of course, in order to use carbon fiber correctly, you will need to decide if you want to buy carbon fiber or carbon fiber film. The latter is UV resistant, however it isn't as strong as your "real" carbon fiber.

Once you have selected your carbon fiber roll or sheet, you will need to use a composite material software program to design your new product. You should also consult with a professional engineer if you are designing a critical item that needs to be "failure proof."

You could also choose the easier route and go with a MightySkins customized wrap.

How Is MightySkins Using Carbon Fiber?

MightySkins is proud to become the first company on the market to offer solid color carbon fiber laminate. In addition to a wide selection of solid colors, MightySkins is also giving customers the chance to choose from images, patterns, and designs for their new carbon fiber laminate cases. Using a new technology, MightySkins is able to print an image under the top textured layer. The result is a beautiful case that perfectly reflects your individual style.

As an added bonus, MightySkins now offers carbon fiber cases with an extra protective skin option. Traditionally, regular skins were printed on vinyl. Now, thanks to innovative technologies, MightySkins can place a laminate over the carbon fiber vinyl wrap to achieve the following benefits.

  • The laminate makes the ink impenetrable
  • An additional level of scratch protection is achieved
  • Customers can choose between a matte finish or an updated carbon fiber laminate finish
  • The cases are now water-resistant

Finally, in the past carbon fiber cases were more traditional than other materials. To better serve their wide customer base, MightySkins is proud to offer 3M's laminate with carbon fiber cases that are durable, high quality, customizable, and less expensive than alternative solutions. These amazing carbon fiber laminate cases will soon be released on the company's online store.
