Carbon multiaxial reinforcements

  • Carbon strands with stretched orientation and stitched

  • Available in 150 to 1200 g/m²

  • 127 cm wide as standard

  • UD (1 axis), biaxial (2 axes), triaxial (3 axes) or quadaxial (4 axes)

  • Best suited for epoxy resins

Carbon multiaxial reinforcements are systems in which carbon strands are stretched in the 0, 90, -45 or +45 degree direction and then stitched to each other. Depending on the number of directions connected, we call it a UD (1 axis), biaxial (2 axes), triaxial (3 axes) or quadaxial (4 axes) oriented reinforcement. Multiaxial versions provide additional stiffness compared to standard carbon fabrics.

Carbon-based reinforcements provide high stiffness, tensile strength and compressive strength at low weight. In addition, these carbon reinforcements expand slightly when heated and are electrically conductive. Multiaxial reinforcements give the product higher mechanical values in the direction of the axes than fabrics. The carbon multiaxial reinforcements are supplied as standard at 127 cm wide and 50 metres long (63.5 m²).

Application

The best results with carbon multiaxial reinforcements are achieved when processed with an epoxy resin.

Depending on ongoing projects, specific carbon multiaxial reinforcements are in stock. Often these are the 400 g/m², 600 g/m² & 800 g/m² legels. The carbon multiaxial reinforcements are available on request in the desired weight (150 g/m² to 1200 g/m²) and with the desired direction of the reinforcements: UD, biaxial, triaxial or quadratil. Any desired type of carbon multiaxial reinforcement is available relatively quickly.
