Aramid balanced tapes
Equal weight in warp & weft
Available in 170 & 225 g/m²
1.5 to 20 cm wide
High impact resistance combined with high tensile strength at low weight
Low expansion with heat
Best suitable for epoxy resins
Aramid balanced tapes are tapes (on rolls) where the aramid has equal weight in warp and weft. Aramid is characterised by high impact resistance, combined with high tensile strength at a low weight. In addition, aramid provides slight expansion with heat. The aramid balanced tapes are available as standard in 170 and 225 g/m² in widths from 1.5 cm to 20 cm.
Application
The best results with aramid balanced tapes are achieved when processed with an epoxy resin. Aramid balanced tapes are used for products requiring high impact resistance and high tensile strength combined with a low weight.
