These carbon fiber tapes are used to add stiffness
and tensile strength in one direction without adding significant
thickness or weight. These West Systems tapes have 12 carbon fiber
bundles per inch of tape width. The bundles are held together with
a polyester fill thread making the tape easy to handle. These tapes
are compatible with epoxies but not with vinlyester or polyester
resins. #702 tape is 1.5” wide and #703 tape is 3” wide.
