Fabric construction Fibre type: Flax (EU)/ Carbon Construction: UD tape Fabric weight : 225 gsm Ply construction 52% Carbon 48% Flax Performance advantage The fusion tape brings the best of two worlds: the very high stiffness of carbon and the light weight and damping of flax. Both fibers also have a very good compatibility, since they have similar thermal expansion coefficient and failure strain. Properties measured in bending with 7 layers infused with R&G resin Typ L, Vf 50% Weft yarn Textured polyester Measurements Standard width: 52 mm Standard roll length: 50 m

Ecological aspects Product Data Sheet ampliTex ® Art. No. 5027 Grown in France and Belgium, flax used at Bcomp is a regional resource. Production of flax has a negative global warming indicator because of CO2 sequestration by photosynthesis. Processing guidelines • Good compatibility with epoxy and polyester • Near-zero CTE, 2.2 ampliTex Glass fibres flax ■ Non-renewable energy consumption Compatible with infusion- based processes (vacuum infusion, RTM), wet layup, bladder inflation moulding (BIM) and compression moulding Flax fibers always contain some humidity at ambient conditions....
