Unidirectional Fabric
Unidirectional fabric is constructed where the majority of fibres run in one direction typically 0˚ or 90˚ and a small number of fibres run in an alternate direction to hold the primary fibres in position.
The Benefits
- Improved mechanical properties
- Higher areal weights (up to 2,000g per square meter and beyond)
- Easy to cut and handle
- Enhanced performance in infusion processes where resin will flow more easily through the various layers
What We Offer
The current range of Unidirectional fabric includes Glass, Carbon and Aramid Fibre. These are available in a standard range from 155g to 1200g (Glass Fibre) and 80g to 1200g (Carbon Fibre). For more information on Woven Unidirectional Aramid fabric please contact the team at Cristex.
