The import vehicle scene is a fast growing market, and current trends are indicating heavy use and demand in numerous other applications as well. The racing market, which includes sports cars and speedboats, has seen an increase in demand for a carbon fiber product according to seat upholsterers, trim shops and our distributors. We feel this will be a widely used product that fulfills that demand, and carry over to other applications including nursing home, medical office and general contract products.

The Carbon Fiber product is 32 oz. Weight, and provides 500 hours of UV protection, as well as treated for microbial and bacteria protection against mold and mildew. The carbon fiber will meet with Cal 117 and MVS 302, as well as heavy use requirements. The backing will be standard Enduratex signature backing and the final product has some stretch quality as well as a soft-hand touch. The line includes five vibrant colors, which are "Caution Yellow," "Racy Blue," "Stop Light Red," "Quick-Silver," and "Classic Black."

Enduratex/CGPC America will be unveiling applications using the new Carbon Fiber product in several vehicles at SEMA show 2002 in Las Vegas, NV, November 5-8, 2002 (for more information on the SEMA show visit www.SEMASHOW.com).
