ZOLTEK’s recycled milled fiber is ideal for high-volume applications that require strength and/or electrostatic dissipation. Similar to virgin milled fiber, ZOLTEK’s recycled milled fiber is produced using a proprietary in-house milling system. This process ensures superior product quality and traceability despite the estimated 3-5% properties reduction characteristic of recycled fiber. The low-cost benefits of any ZOLTEK milled fiber form are further enhanced by the cost-saving nature of recycled fiber production process. The end-result is a sustainable solution regularly used in resin-rich surface reinforcement for composites, low-cost friction compounds, and RFI/EMI shielding of electronic devices.
