Product Data Sheet ® ampliTex Art. No. 5027 ® ampliTex Art. No. 5027 tape fabric 225 gsm Product description ampliTex flax-carbon fusion UD tape, non-crimp, 52 mm width, 225gsm. Fabric construction Fibre type: Flax (EU)/ Carbon Construction: UD tape Fabric weight : 225gsm Ply construction 52% Carbon 48% Flax 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. Also both fibers have a very good compatibility, since they have similar thermal expansion coefficient and failure strain. Properties measured in bending with 7 layers infused with R&G resin Typ L, Weft yarn Textured polyester Measurements Standard width: 52_mm Standard roll length: 50 m

Product Data Sheet ® ampliTex Art. No. 5027 Ecological aspects Grown in France and Belgium, the flax used at Bcomp is a regional resource. Good compatibility with epoxy and polyester Compatible with infusion‐ based processes (vacuum infusion, RTM), wet layup, bladder inflation moulding (BIM) and compression moulding Flax fibers 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 global warming...
