Carbon Fibre is a polymer and is sometimes known as graphite fibre. It is an extraordinarily resilient material that is also very lightweight. Carbon fibre is five-times stronger than steel and twice as stiff.
Though carbon fibre is stronger and stiffer than steel, it is lighter than steel, thereby making it the ideal manufacturing material for many parts. These are just a few reasons why carbon fibre is favoured among engineers and designers for manufacturing. The fibre can be thinner than a strand of human hair and gets its strength when woven together like yarn.
As a company committed to reducing the environmental impact of composites, Details also offers a recycled alternative to its clients. The result of this is a high-quality product that is both versatile in its applications and easy to process.
This non-woven fabric is produced from high quality carbon fibre waste, with sizing intact, offering improved fibre-to-resin bonding-strength.
Patterns
There are a variety of weaves which differ in durability and looks. The strength of a pattern depends on the direction of distributed strands, the way they are laid and moulded. The looser the fabric, the more likely it will fray at the edges and create porosity in fabric, when bent around complex curves. Nevertheless a looser fabric is easier to fit around complex curves than a tighter weave fabric.
