CARBITEX

 Ultra 6K Carbon Fiber BRAIDED BIAXIAL SLEEVING

  • Specially treated to enhance fiber penetration and wet-out
  • Improved resin absorption and adhesion
  • Treated to prevent fiber pull-out and any entrapment of air in the resin matrix. 
  • 45 degree fiber orientation and architecture accommodates a wide circumference range
  • Biaxial braid eliminates the need for cutting and stitching and reduces the number of layers required compared to knitted or woven fabric.
  • Increased interlaminate strength, damage tolerance, and delaminate propensity dramatically reduced.

CARBITEX = Biaxial Braid + Fiber Orientation + Special Treatment = Increased Strength + Wider Circumference Range + Enhanced Wet-out


SPECIALLY TREATED

Carbon 6K braided biaxial sleeving is specially treated to enhance fiber penetration and wet-out, improve resin absorption and adhesion, preventing fiber pull-out and the entrapment of air. 

45 DEGREE ARCHITECTURE

The unique 45 degree fiber orientation and architecture of this braid accommodates a wide circumference range and necks down, offering exceptional natural conformability.

BRAIDED SLEEVING

Braided sleeving provides increased interlaminate strength, damage tolerance, and the propensity to delaminate is reduced dramatically. 

COST EFFECTIVE SOLUTION

Braided materials are designed to decrease mass and layup times, whilst increasing strength and fiber fraction; providing a more cost-effective solution. 

STIFFNESS TO WEIGH RATIO

Braided sleeving provides the highest stiffness to weight ratio of any other composite reinforcement material on the market and therefore may be used to make exceptionally light weight sockets.

MULTI-RESIN APPLICATIONS

Recommended for use with DURALAM, LIMBART, EPOXACRYL, THERMACYL, ECOLAM Xs, EPOMAX and LAMMAX high performance laminating resins.

Note 1:

Braided Sleeving is cut to length when stretched out flat on a measuring table.


Note 2:

The above circumferential dimensions in inches are approximate and may vary without notice and are intended as a guide to assist in selecting the most appropriate size of braided sleeving for your application.


Note 3:

Beware of purchasing braided sleeving that has low aerial weight, (grams per square meter) that produces a “fish net” effect when applied over your socket. It may be cheaper but it won’t look good aesthetically !


Note 4:
