Luxfer SCBA carbon tanks have a thin aluminium liner wrapped by composit. Luxfer indication says to charge it at 30 bar /minute maximum to limit temperature elevation. Tanks seems OK for oxygen use, there is a sticker tagged "oxygen". But they have a limited life, 10 or 15 years (I don't remember exactly and I don't have my cylinders near me )
lifetime 15 years, testing every 5 year, oxigen compatible

we do always fill them slower than steel tanks!
