TeXtreme® - Lightweight Carbon Fabric
TeXtreme® Spread Tow Fabric (STF) increases the performance and reduces the weight of your composites as well as enhancing the surface finish making the composites aesthetically appealing. The material is pliable and easy to handle when forming and cutting. TeXtreme® is available in a variety of areal weight and fibre type configurations.
Key benefits of TeXtreme®:
• Reduced weight by 20 % or more
• Increased mechanical performance
• Superior surface finish
• Unique aesthetic look
• Easy to handle and cut due to a stable structure
Notes:
UV resistance: No sensitivity
EP-Binder: 18 °C softening takes place (improved processing at room temperature)
Storage:
The fabric should be stored in a dry and well-ventilated place at room temperature (0 - 30 °C).
The fabric roll should be stored without load, i.e. the roll must be stored in a stand or in a suitable box so that the paper core can absorb the entire load. R&G guarantees a shelf life of two (2) years from the date of delivery to our customers, provided that the product has been transported, processed, and stored in accordance with the specified requirements.
Delivery:
Textreme® fabrics are generally supplied with a liner film. This prevents the fabric layers from "sticking" together. The high quality of the fabric remains.
Please note:
Note on fabric appearance: Due to the special spread-tow manufacturing process, occasional irregularities in the spreading and alignment of the fibre tapes may occur. These are within the manufacturing quality tolerances and do not affect the suitability of the fabric for technical applications. For applications with particularly high requirements for a uniform visible carbon surface, we recommend TeXtreme® VISUAL ASPECT.
