@baconator490 Yep. Correct. Fire is a self sustaining chemical reaction, where the heat released is sufficient to sustain the oxidation. In this case, oxidation caused by the presence of heat from an external source and oxygen in the air. I believe there was this guy in the 16 or 17 hundreds who was given a diamond by a king to experiment with. He put it under a huge magnifying glass with insulation, it oxidized into co2, and the king killed him for stealing the diamond.
That does not answer anything. Carbon fibres are very heat resistant...but the resin that forms the other part of the composite material is not. These were raw fibres without a resin matrix (i.e. not yet a composite material)
that looks quite hot.

nice try, carbon burns at nearly 3500 celcius

p.s. awesome vid :) I baby my fabric...would never have thought of trying to burn it lol

Im supposed to make a CF "pipe" for someone....worried that the resin will catch fire... any tips or know of flame resist resin?

@mrcarbonpaul They get more toxic the more flame/heat resistant they get

they should make fire suites with this

@pbProductions96 even though it doesnt catch fire it still burns and will oxidize so its technically burning just not on fire burning.

you just answered one of my questions. is CF heat/fire resistance?

Right you are. Do know what the use for high temperature apps?, like carbon fiber brake pads and space shuttles, that kind of stuff?
