Carbon Graphite Yarn Tow

High strength (470,000 PSI) carbon fibers are used as reinforcement in high performance structural composites for aircraft applications, recreational and industrial products. Carbon fiber filaments are finer than a human hair. These filaments are bundled together to make a fiber of 3,000, 6,000 or 12,000 filaments which is called a "tow". The tow is sized with an epoxy compatible material to improve the handling characteristics. It is then wound on a cardboard core holding from 4 to 6 pounds of fiber. 1 Lb. spool.This size will be available in the small units shown. The 3 K and 12 K sizes are offered in full spools only. The 3 K tow is used primarily by weavers. The 12 K is difficult to wet out but can be done by diligent brushing.
It appears that the 6K tow will prove most practical for homebuilding applications.
