| Graphite fibers contain up to 95% carbon and yield the highest tensile strength in the FRP industry. These fibers woven together form graphite fabric. These fabrics offer higher strength and stiffness-to-weight ratios than any other commonly available reinforcements. While there are hundreds of types to choose from, we have selected three styles of standard modulus carbon fiber which are suitable for use in racing, aircraft, competition marine, and light industrial applications. To maximize the fiber properties we recommend using only epoxy or vinyl ester resin, although polyesters will bond to the fabrics. With twice the fiber density of the 3K types, this fabric is ideal for structural applications. Also, the 5HS weave allows it to work even with the most complex shapes. This material builds quickly to form lightweight structures with virtually no flex. General Properties for Carbon Fiber Fabrics: Lightweight; High Modulus; High Strength; Fire Resistant; Dimensionally Stable; Fatigue Resistant |
