3M™ Nextel™ Chopped Fibre 720 is made from 3M™ Nextel™ Fibres that are well-suited for use in composite applications – as a filler or as a reinforcement – to improve mechanical and thermal properties. The fibres are commonly chopped to 1/8", 1/4" and 1/2" lengths but custom lengths are also available upon request.
The 3M™ Nextel™ Chopped Fibre 720 is designed for use in a number of composite applications including Ceramic Matrix Composite (CMC), Metal Matrix Composite (MMC) and Polymer matrix Composite (PMC) applications. It makes an excellent filler that can serve as a reinforcement to improve mechanical and thermal properties. In a mechanical part, this product can help improve interlaminar shear strength.
