<h3>What is dry carbon?</h3>
<p><a href="http://asi-as.com/images/2010/07/carbon-bonnet.jpg" title="ASI Bentley Dry Carbon Bonnet (hood)" rel="studiolightbox"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-215 fade" title="ASI Bentley Dry Carbon Bonnet (hood)" src="http://asi-as.com/images/2010/07/carbon-bonnet-400x266.jpg" alt="ASI Bentley Dry Carbon Bonnet (hood)" width="240" height="160" /></a>Dry carbon is carefully crafted using specially heated and molded resin, which has been pre-pregnated into a woven carbon fiber sheet. The sheet is fitted into a mold and then sealed by heating under extremely high pressure. </p>
<p>The F1-quality autoclaves and carbon steel molds required to endure the high temperatures and pressures involved in this process significantly increase the cost of production compared to regular (FRP) parts, but the dry carbon process produces feather-light parts with optimal strength.</p>
<p>Dry carbon is widely used in production of race cars, airplanes, high-speed trains and space shuttles.</p>
<p>&#8220;Dry&#8221; carbon is distinct from &#8220;carbon fiber&#8221; parts, which typically involve stretching a carbon fiber sheet over the top of a base material for aesthetic effect, and offer little to no weight or strength benefit. Also, because dry carbon is shaped prior to hardening, the weave (the appearance of the carbon fiber) is perfect every time.</p>
<h3>Why dry carbon?</h3>
<p><a href="http://asi-as.com/images/2010/07/carbon-trunk-wing.jpg" title="ASI Bentley dry carbon trunk (boot) lid and rear wing" rel="studiolightbox"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-218 fade" title="ASI Bentley dry carbon trunk (boot) lid and rear wing" src="http://asi-as.com/images/2010/07/carbon-trunk-wing-400x266.jpg" alt="ASI Bentley dry carbon trunk (boot) lid and rear wing" width="240" height="160" /></a>For an extremely heavy vehicle like the Bentley Continental, the weight savings offered by dry carbon parts has only marginal effect on performance, but these products remain popular among owners who appreciate the technique and skill that goes into dry carbon production.</p>
