C/C
composites

Carbon fiber-reinforced carbons (C/C) are cutting-edge composite materials that combine a carbon matrix with carbon fibers, delivering exceptional strength, toughness, thermal shock resistance, and minimal thermal expansion. Ideal for the most demanding industries, C/C composites are the material of choice for automotive racing and aerospace applications where performance is non-negotiable.

At Petroceramics, we specialize in the design, production, and testing of advanced C/C components engineered to perform under extreme conditions. Our expertise spans the entire process — from fiber selection and reinforcement architecture to additives selection — enabling us to develop tailor-made C/C solutions with complex geometries and multi-scale structures.

Our C/C technologies are trusted in top-tier applications, including:

• Brake discs and pads for Formula 1 cars
• Solid-fuel rocket nozzles

With deep know-how in thermal treatments, we operate state-of-the-art facilities equipped with dedicated CVI and graphitization ovens reaching up to 2400 °C, and we’re expanding with the installation of a next-generation carbonization furnace.

Our fully equipped, in-house laboratories provide complete material characterization, ensuring every C/C component meets the highest standards of performance and reliability.
