The name said it all. It’s tubular and it has carbon fibre in UD and an elastic fibre in the weft direction, making it expandable in diameter.
The ideal solution to apply Tubular UD reinforcement around your perform.
This will provide the following advantages:
Compaction of the layers underneath, due to the elastic weft
Once applied, the perform is stable during handling
Time saving compared to regular UD solutions
No adhesives used
Easy to use
Combined with a biaxial braid it will provide torsional and bending stiffness
The standard is a good way to start your engineering. Need something dedicated? See our Custom made Section.
Do you need torsion as well? Combine our tubular UD reinforcement with our Carbon fiber tubular braids
The carbon fiber elastic UD tube has an aerial weight of 510 g/m2 at nominal diameter.
