2. Opportunity|Display Carbon Fiber Weave in Outdoor Applications  Carbon fiber reinforced polymers (CFRP) are now widely adopted to replace traditional materials in markets where high strength/weight ration is desired.  Carbon fiber has an appealing look that is attractive to the modern / architecture / deco / transport sectors.

3. Issues| State of the Art Clearcoats provide inadequate UV Protection  CFRP are particularly vulnerable in outdoor clearcoats over substrates both in the UV-A range and the near visible as the epoxy matrix is sensitive to sunlight.  Standard OEM clearcoats are not capable to protect carbon fiber.

4. Solution | Carbon Guard  Carbon Guard allows designers to proudly display the beautiful carbon fiber weave of components.  Long-term external exposure protection is achieved.  Use allows extension of desired physical and mechanical properties: Property of AlsaRefinish part of Alsa Corp. 2010 © | www.alsarefinish.com TM Low weight High strength and break resistance Good rigidity Corrosion resistance Vibration resistance Low thermal expansion

5. Where can Carbon Guard be Utilized?  Carbon Guard is recommended for outdoor applications with clearcoats where the desired effect is to display the carbon weave.

6. What is Carbon Guard ?  Carbon Guard is a red-shifted benzotriazole which allows coating of CFRP surface with a protective transparent layer rather than many opaque pigment layers.  This epoxy matrix is protected form UV light at the vulnerable wavelengths near the visible spectrum.
