Product Data Sheet ampliTex® 5011 flax braid 15 mm 0 Product description Flax fibre braid, suitable for manufacturing fibre reinforced composite tubes with high performance and low environmental impact. Fabric construction Fibre type: Flax (EU) Fibre TEX: 106 TEX Nominal diameter: 15.9 mm Maximal internal diameter when streched: 22.5 mm Linear weight at nominal diameter: 22.7 g/m Wall areal weight: 454 gsm Performance advantage Considering that glass fibers have a density of 2.6 and a tensile modulus of 70 GPa, the flax ampliTex® braid can replace a glass fiber braid of 34g/m. Standard roll length: 100 m Composite properties measured on samples (54% fiber volume), with Epoxy resin Araldite LY 8615/ XB 5173

Grown in France and Belgium, flax used at Bcomp is a regional resource. Production of flax has a negative global warming indicator because of CO2 sequestration by photosynthesis. ■ Human toxicity 0,2 ampliTex flax Glass fibres Product Data Sheet ampliTex® 5011 flax braid 15 mm 0 ampliTex flax Glass fibres ■ Non-renewable energy consumption ampliTex Glass fibres flax Processing guidelines • Great compatibility with epoxy and polyester • Near zero CTE, hence good processing compatibility with carbon fibres • Compatible with infusion based processes (vacuum infusion, RTM), wet layup, bladder inflation...
