Technical Data Sheet AmpliTex 5030 AmpliTex light UD flax fabric 100 gsm 1. Product description Non crimp unidirectional fabric with fibers oriented at 0°. Suitable for manufacturing of fiber reinforced composite products with high performance and low environmental impact. Fabric construction Fibre type: Construction: Yarn tex : Fabric weight : Standard width: Standard roll length*: 1150 mm 100 m * other length on request 3. Mechanical properties Composite properties Properties measured on samples with 5 layers aligned at 0°, manufactured in a press with 5 bar pressure (52% fiber weight), with Epoxy resin R&G typ L, cured at 80 °C. Fibers dried 30 min at 110 C° prior processing. Flexural Modulus parallel to fibers Flexural Modulus perpendicular to fibers Flexural Strength parallel to fibers Flexural Strength perpendicular to fibers Flexural Yield Strength parallel to fibers Tensile Modulus parallel to fibers Tensile Modulus perpendicular to fibers Tensile Strength parallel to fibers Tensile Strength perpendicular to fibers Tensile Strain to failure parallel to fibers Tensile Strain to failure perpendicular to fibers Fiber properties Properties of fibers used in the fabric are: Tensile modulus of fibers Tensile strength fibers Density of fiber Considering that glass fibers have a density of 2.6 kg/dm3 and a tensile modulus of 70 GPa, the flax ampliTex UD 100 g/m2 can replace a 160 g/m2 glass fiber UD fabric to have the same stiffness in tension.

Technical Data Sheet AmpliTex 5030 4. Processing guidelines Good 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 molding (BIM), compression molding Sensitive to humidity: dry fabric prior impregnating at 110°C for 15 minutes in ventilated oven Fibre weight fraction of >50% can be reached with process pressure >5 bar. However, the fibres absorb a lot of resin when laminating the fabric and it tends to look “dry” (unless too much resin is used)...
