About INFRA

The world continues to race for new materials that not only replace traditional metals and plastics, but also open up opportunities for creating products that cannot be made using classical materials. Among these are new materials based on carbon micro- and nanostructures, such as carbon fibers or nanotubes. Carbon fibers, stronger than steel, and as light as paper, made possible to construct such engineering objects as the newest passenger aircraft that consume record-low fuel. INFRA+fiber is researching the cutting-edge carbon materials: composites and high-strength fiber materials based on long (several centimetres) nanotubes. The world market, even for "classical" materials based on macroscopic carbon fiber, is annually increasing by 25%, and its volume now amounts to 50 billion US dollars per annum. INFRA+fiber offers perspective alternative solutions. R&D of INFRA+fiber is engaged both in its own research and works in partnership with a number of research institutions. The company has own equipment and an experimental production line that allows for research and lab-scale production. A metal flow reactor lined with heat-resistant material makes it possible to obtain ample quantity of high-quality carbon nanotubes from the gas-phase. The technology is ready for full-scale commercial development. Materials in the form of nanotube filaments, twisted fibers, felt, prepregs and other composites are ready for testing at manufacturing enterprises interested in promoting innovative materials.
