CARBON FIBRE

Carbon fiber is widely used in the composite industry due to its exceptional mechanical performance. It is available in various forms, including fabrics with different weave patterns. The most common are Twill 2×2 and plain weave, offering a balance between aesthetics and mechanical properties. These fabrics range in weight from 80 to 600 g/m², ensuring compatibility with different resin systems.

Types of Carbon Fiber Reinforcements:

Woven Fabrics

• Available in multiple weave patterns, with Twill 2×2 and plain weave being the most common.
• Provide high strength and an aesthetically appealing finish.

Non-Crimp Fabrics (Multiaxials)

• Unidirectional (UD) Fabrics: Reinforced in the 0° and 90°
• Bidirectional Fabrics: Reinforcement in the 0°/90°
• Triaxial Fabrics: Standard configuration at 0°/-45°/+45°, with angle variations between 5° and 90°.
• Quadraxial Fabrics: Standard layout at 0°/90°/-45°/+45°, with adjustable angles from 5° to 90°.

Each reinforcement type is selected based on specific application needs, ensuring optimal mechanical properties for industries such as aerospace, automotive, and other sectors where lightweight and high strength are critical.
