RemBolt™
RemBolt™ Chopped Carbon Fibre
RemBolt™ is Nandina's programmable chopped carbon fibre, recovered from high-value aerospace-grade feedstock through our Nandina Rapid Production™ process. It delivers consistent, superior structural integrity and weight reduction for demanding applications.
Overview
Ready to drop into existing processes
RemBolt™ provides ready-to-use inputs for seamless integration into existing manufacturing processes. Unlike traditional supply options, our material offers controlled fibre length (6–60 mm) for optimal dispersion, corrosion resistance, and durability in harsh environments. The series includes four distinct grades—SM, HT, HS and IM—each tailored to specific processing requirements, from standard compounding to high-performance structural applications.

Uses
What it feeds into
Chopped fibre that compounders and moulders turn into pellets, moulding compounds and laid-up parts.
Advantages
What it does in production
Mechanical property retention
Expected tensile strength and stiffness in line with the aerospace-spec feedstock grades it is recovered from.
Reinforcement efficiency
Precision-cut fibre lengths maximise structural integrity and minimise breakage during processing.
Resin compatibility
Surface-treated (sized) fibres ensure superior interfacial adhesion across major thermoplastic and thermoset systems.
Process consistency
Defined grades and fibre lengths reduce batch-to-batch variance, helping cut tooling wear and process downtime.
Example
RemBolt™ for Lighter Moulded Parts
Automotive and industrial moulders replacing metal brackets and inserts often start with short carbon fibre compounds. In this illustrative example, chopped RemBolt™-HS is compounded into polyamide pellets (see RemCore™), giving designers a stiffer, lighter alternative to die-cast or stamped metal.
RemBolt™ comes in defined grades and lengths, so compounders can match fibre class and loading to each part's stiffness and cost targets. Nandina agrees the grade, fibre length and qualification tests with every customer.
