Using Carbon Fiber Car Parts in Dubai, Abu Dhabi and other Emirates are growing really fast. It can turn a normal car to luxurious. It can turn a premium cars to another level of greatness. It can make the car lighter for performance junkies. Carbon fiber car parts such as bumpers and spoilers are exceptionally durable, and they are 1/5 of the weight of the steel ones. Recently, more car manufacturers turn to carbon fiber to make car parts because a car that weighs less accelerates more quickly and thus uses less fuel. Custom spoilers, bumpers, and other parts make a vehicle more aerodynamic. When these parts are made of carbon fiber, they create this effect without the hindrance of extra weight.

Carbon fiber parts are made of fabric that is tightly woven with very fine threads of virtually pure carbon. To transform the material into a car part, professionals use a certain technology. It starts with a pre-built fiberglass mold, on the edge of which a butyl double-sided tape is applied as a first step. It's time for a special sealing layer. Its function is to fill any micro-cracks in the mold. Masking tape is used to protect the lip of the mold. Then a second separating layer, based on polyvinyl alcohol is applied, into the fiberglass form. It serves for the subsequent separation of the already finished carbon product from the mold.





After that, it is time for the carbon fiber material. It is applied and sprayed. It is applied layer by layer, the first layer being attached to the mild with a specially designed spray adhesive, which is subsequently absorbed by the resin. It is extremely important that the first layer lies tightly in the shape of the mold and the texture of the fabric is beautifully arranged. After all, there shouldn't be any wrinkles at this point. Each subsequent layer of carbon fabric is laid on top of the previous one, fixing it again with spray glue. The material has its own strength, so it is easy to trim the excess.

The fabric is layered seven times, again following the lines of the mold. It is the turn of a layer of polyester separating fabric, which creates a barrier between the carbon fiber and the synthetic mesh finally laid on it.
