64 g/m2 Spread Tow Carbon Fabric Textreme HS, 100 cm wide

Spread-tow carbon fibre fabric is a dry carbon fibre reinforcement manufactured using a special spreading technology to make the individual tows of carbon fibre wider and flatter. This special type of fabric increases the performance as well as reducing the laminate weight up to 20%. In this fabric the carbon fiber tows are spread out into thin tapes that can range from 20mm up to 50mm in width. 

The result is a fabric that is flatter than a conventional woven cloth with less of the crimp that occurs each time warp and weft tows intersect each other. This reduced crimp means that spread tow fabrics can provide marginal stiffness advantages, as well as reduced print onto the laminate's surface. With these TeXtreme fabrics you eliminate the amount of crimps by over 90% which in turns eliminates the amount of area where excess resin can accumulate. This reduction in excess resin will yield a part that is almost 20% lighter than a standard laminate. In addition to the light weight advantages, you also have very minimal fiber crimp which will yield parts as strong as a uni directional laminate. TeXtreme fabrics come in three different strengths. HS for High Strength, IM for intermediate modulus and HM for high modulus. Spread tow fabric can be very effective in producing natural carbon fibre finish components with a larger, bolder carbon fibre weave pattern.

The best price / quality / strength / weight . This fabric is particularly effective when is used in a "sandwich". It's the perfect choice for lightweight structures in small aircraft, sport.

The sizing for this carbon yarn is compatible with epoxy resins.
