Low expansion with heat
Beautiful for epoxy resins
Aramid UD tapes, or uni-directional aramid fabric tapes, are tapes (on rolls) where the aramid is predominantly in the direction of the warp to strengthen the laminate specifically in this direction. 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 UD tapes are available as standard in 150 and 200 g/m² in widths from 1.5 cm to 25 cm.
Application
The best results with aramid UD tapes are achieved when processed with an epoxy resin. Aramid UD tapes are used for products requiring high impact resistance and high tensile strength combined with a low weight.
