Unidirectional Carbon Fibre Ribbon
Description
Unidirectional carbon fibre tape/ribbon to add high strength localised unidirectional reinforcement. Perfect for adding strength to wing spars, trailing edges and fuselage sides.These super-flat carbon fibre ribbons of unidirectional carbon fibre are bound together using the same technology that is used to produce woven spread-tow fabrics meaning that they are totally flat (none-crimped) for outstanding mechanical performance and have no visible weft fibres or stitching making them a unique choice for a variety of structural, cosmetic and artistic applications.The carbon fibre unidirectional fibres are held together by an invisible internal thermoplastic net which is heat-fused to the fibres and weighs only a few grams per square metre and yet makes the ribbon stabilised for easy handling and laminating in a variety of ways.Supplied loosely wrapped around a foam bobbin.
Width: 15 mm
Length: 2.4 m
Thickness: 80 g/m2Typical Uses
Unidirectional CF Ribbon is perfect for reindorcing high load areas. Bond it to balsa, foam, glass fibre surfaces to vadd extra strength and stiffness. Our carbon fibre is compatible with all standard resin systems including polyester, vinylester and epoxy resin although, as with most carbon fibre reinforcements, for best mechanical performance and results we would suggest epoxy resin.Structural Applications
In structural applications Unidirectional CF Ribbon can be laminated into moulds to provide highly focused, unidirectional reinforcement in areas where it is needed most with the ribbon aligned to ensure maximum strength along the axis of load. Ribbon layers can also be laminated with resin and stacked one on top of each other to provide a unidirectional reinforcement of any thickness; ideal for creating strips of unidirectional laminate of any shape or size which would have mechanical properties very similar to a carbon fibre pultrusion.
