ampliTex® 5037-1

Product Data Sheet ampliTex® Ref. No. 5037 Product description This bidirectional low twist flax weave with fibers oriented at 0° and 90° is suitable for manufacturing fiber reinforced composite products with high performance and low environmental impact. ampliTex® features a very good drapability and is ideal for complex shapes, and exhibits a high laminate stiffness due to the low crimp satin weave. After impregnation, the color is "cream white”, which avoids heating when exposed to the sun. Fabric construction Fibre type: Flax (EU) Construction: 0°/90°, balanced satin weave Yarn tex: 200 TEX Fabric weight : 200 gsm ± 5% 100 gsm in each direction Satin Weave Measurements Standard width: 1270 mm Standard roll length: 50 m Performance advantage Considering that glass fibers have a density of 2.6 kg/dm3 and a tensile modulus of 70 GPa, the flax ampliTex® 0°/90° 200 gsm can replace a 330 g/m2 glass fiber 0°/90° fabric to have the same stiffness in tension. In compression, the performance of flax is a bit lower, thus the flax ampliTex® 0°/90° 200 g/m2 can replace a 275 g/m2 glass fiber 0°/90° fabric for the same stiffness of the final part. * Measured on a plate made with uni-directional fibers only ** Measured on a plate made with Huntsman LY 5052 / Aradur 5052, 46% Vf
