TeXtreme® Carbon fabric 76 g/m² (plain, ± 45 °, IM) 100 cm

USA: width 39.37", weight 2.24 oz/yd²

IM-Fibre type: Torayca® M30SC 18k 50C 761 tex

• Suited for lightweight applications

In comparison with standard carbon fibres, for example, Tenax® HTS40 or Torayca® T300:

• Approx. 20 % increased tensile modulus
• Approx. 50 % increased tensile strength at an increased elongation at break

Fibre orientation ± 45 °:
In the TeXtreme® biaxial fabric, the spread tapes are woven at an angle of ± 45 °. The fabric lies very flat and shows only a low ondulation (fibre deflection), which makes better use of the properties of the fibres. Torsion layers can be laminated without waste.

Plain weave
Width: 100 cm
Tape width: 20 mm

Comparison of characteristics of fibres used for TeXtreme® carbon fabric:

The specified fabric weight increases by the binder to about 10 g/m³.

Calculated data for hand laminates with 35 volume percent fibres:
Resin consumption: 91 g/m², laminate thickness: 0.12 mm, laminate weight: 167 g/m²

TeXtreme® - Lightweight Carbon Fabric

TeXtreme® Spread Tow Fabric (STF) increases the performance and reduces the weight of your composites as well as enhancing the surface finish making the composites aesthetically appealing. The material is pliable and easy to handle when forming and cutting. TeXtreme® is available in a variety of areal weight and fibre type configurations.

Key benefits of TeXtreme®:

• Reduced weight by 20 % or more
• Increased mechanical performance
• Superior surface finish
• Unique aesthetic look
• Easy to handle and cut due to a stable structure

Notes:

UV resistance: No sensitivity
EP-Binder: 18 °C softening takes place (improved processing at room temperature)

Storage:
The fabric should be stored in a dry and well-ventilated place at room temperature (0 - 30 °C).
The fabric roll should be stored without load, i.e. the roll must be stored in a stand or in a suitable box so that the paper core can absorb the entire load. R&G guarantees a shelf life of two (2) years from the date of delivery to our customers, provided that the product has been transported, processed, and stored in accordance with the specified requirements.

Delivery:
Textreme® fabrics are generally supplied with a liner film. This prevents the fabric layers from "sticking" together. The high quality of the fabric remains.

Please note:
The manufacturer (OXEON) informed us on request that great progress has been made in quality in recent years, but due to the extremely complicated manufacturing process, unfortunately, no consistently first-class quality can be delivered.
The fibre tapes are not absolutely clean and evenly spread, but this is not a disadvantage for purely technical applications. Unfortunately, this fabric is not or only partially suitable for optical applications. Occasionally weaving errors may occur. These are interrupted fibre tapes which were then joined together by the manufacturer using adhesive tape.
Unfortunately, we cannot select the quality and/or cut out such faulty areas. The manufacturer expressly points out that such irregularities do not constitute errors and are not grounds for complaint.

The fabric in ± 45 ° is a novelty and very complicated to manufacture. In the edge area an approx. 5 cm wide strip is irregularly woven. The actual useful width of the fabric lies within a tolerance range of 90-95 cm.
