- BM-5 is 50% lighter (weighs just over 7kg/㎡) than aluminum, but is stronger, more durable, corrosion free and has a CTE of only 2.85.
- Just like metal, BM-5 can be screwed/tapped, fastened, bonded and painted.
- It is perfect for use in the following applications, but can be used in ANY FLAT GEOMETRY APPLICATIONS:
- BM-5 is the first real carbon composite alternative to metal in terms of cost and ease of processing.
