What is the different between wet carbon and dry carbon?

Manufacturing process is different.
Dry carbon fiber has its resin pre-impregnated, that is, literally built into the fiber. Since no resin is being directly applied, the fiber is “dry”.

Pre-impregnated fiber is called “pre-preg” in the carbon fiber industry.

The pre-preg fiber is placed in an autoclave to cure at high pressure and heat, which removes impurities and strengthens the material.

Feature of Dry Carbon Fiber

COST
More expensive – prepreg fiber costs more to produce, and the need for an autoclave also ramps up costs

STRENGTH
Stronger – the autoclave process eliminates air bubbles and other impurities, strengthening it significantly

WEIGHT
Lighter – pre-preg fiber weighs up to 70% less

QUALITY
Higher – it’s much stronger and much lighter

MAINTENANCE
Requires proper maintenance to keep its appearance
