Bidirectional Woven Carbon Graphite

Woven graphite is a fabric introduced in recent years which has become an excellent alternative to fiberglass and Kevlar - only mils thick with great strength. In addition to its great strength, graphite fabric also has very low density and is very stiff. Although it is quite costly, the material saving is appreciable since only one course of graphite is required for 3 or 4 of fiberglass. It cuts considerably easier than Kevlar. Graphite "Prepregs", which are standard graphite weaves impregnated with either polyester or epoxy resins, have been used by major manufacturers to cut production time on composite parts. The required equipment and precise production controls for proper cure of Prepregs make them difficult to adapt to homebuilt applications. The excellent qualities of the graphite fabric itself give it an immediate waiting market in the aircraft building field. Graphite fabric is stocked in the three different styles shown below. Other weights and weaves of graphite are available on a special order basis. Be sure to specify the graphite style when ordering. CARBON FIBER - now available Style# Part# Weight Oz./SqYd.
