Product Data Sheet ampliTex® Art. No. 5027-4 Product description ampliTex flax-carbon fusion UD tape, non-crimp, 120 mm width, 170 gsm Fabric construction Fibre type: Flax (EU) / Carbon Construction: UD tape 0° Yarn tex: 200 TEX Surface weight: 170 gsm Weft yarn: Textured polyester Dimensions Standard width: 120 mm Standard roll length: 50 m 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 fibres also have a very good compatibility, since they have similar thermal expansion coefficient and failure strain. *Measured on specimens made by vacuum infusion, 7 layers of fabric, resin 5052 from Huntsman, 50%Vf

Product Data Sheet ampliTex® Art. No. 5027-4 Ecological aspects Processing guidelines Grown in France and Belgium, flax used at Bcomp is a regional resource. Great compatibility with epoxy and polyester Compatible with infusion based processes (vacuum infusion, RTM), wet layup, bladder inflation moulding (BIM) and compression moulding Flax fibres always contain some humidity at ambient conditions. Some resins (especially polyesters) are sensitive to moisture and may badly polymerize or create bubbles. In that case, dry the fabrics before use (110°C for 15 minutes) Production of flax has a negative...
