Woven graphite is a fabric introduced in recent years which has become an excellent alternative to fiberglass and Kevlar - only mils thick with great strength. In addition to its great strength...
Construction is such that the fibers are oriented in a straight or linear manner with no twist and are able to be maintained in that condition while being impregnated by hand. The fabric is f...
Prepreg tape has an inherent waviness which can reduce the strength and stiffness of a laminate. Graphlite rod eliminates fiber waviness and unlike tape, it can be placed along any curved surface and retain fiber alignment. Graphlite can be used in layers to form building blocks for stiffeners, spar caps, longerons and other axially loaded parts.
These carbon fiber tapes are used to add stiffness and tensile strength in one direction without adding significant thickness or weight. These West Systems tapes have 12 carbon fiber bundles per...
