BGF is the premier producer of high-performance carbon fabric. Due to its critical function on an aircraft, our carbon fabrics are engineered with the utmost scrutiny and attention to detail, ensuring that the resulting panels sustain maximum structural integrity without adding significant weight. Carbon fabrics also provide vital thermal benefits and can withstand temperatures of 1500°C without substantial loss to the fiber properties.
We offer a variety of PAN and Pitched-based carbon fabrics utilizing 3K, 4K, 6K, and 12K carbon fibers. The Cheraw, South Carolina facility is dedicated solely to the manufacture of high-performance fabrics for the composites industry.

Carbon fabrics are woven utilizing producer sized fibers for resin compatibility.
BMS 8-274: This specification covers the requirements for fire retardant, modified phenolic resin impregnated graphite panels. They are intended for use in the fabrication of aircraft interior sandwich panels.
BMS 9-8: This specification establishes requirements for woven and nonwoven graphite reinforcement.
GE A50TF 213 S7: This specification establishes requirements for epoxy resin impregnated carbon fabrics primarily for use in lightweight composites. Cured laminates exhibit good mechanical properties up to 180°F (80°C) and intermittently to 220°F (105°C).
GE A50TF 216: This specification establishes requirements for epoxy resin, impregnated carbon fabrics primarily for use in lightweight composites. Cured laminates exhibit good mechanical properties up to 200°F (93°C).
GE A50TF 226 S7: This specification describes requirements for woven carbon fabric.
GE A50TF 236: This specification establishes requirements for epoxy resin, impregnated carbon fabrics primarily for use in lightweight composites. Cured laminates exhibit good mechanical properties up to 260°F (127°C).
GE A50TF 294 S2: This specification establishes requirements for (PMR-15) polyimide resin impregnated carbon fabric. This material is intended for primary structural laminates requiring high strength at elevated temperatures.
