Powerful by Nature Ref: TDS- FLAXPLY© – 20 September 2010 - V01 LINEO – FLAX FABRICS Technical Fabrics made of Flax Fibers General information Description LINEO FLAX FABRIC is a range of technical fabrics made of flax fibres especially sized for epoxy resins. This range of flax fabrics, named FLAXPLY©, has been developed to mainly enhance the vibration absorption qualities, weight reduction and aesthetic aspect of the final composite parts. It also allows the development of greener material. Applications: All kind of composite parts made by wet process • Sporting equipments (canoe, kayak, surfboard, …) • Marine, especially sailing boats • Transport (body panels, interior panels) • Design (interior and exterior architectural parts) Main Advantages • Easy and ready to use with conventional process (infusion, RTM, Hand lay-up,…) • Vibration Absorption • Electrical Insulation • CTE near 0 • Low density (1.4) • Easy combination with other kind of fabrics (glass, carbon,…) • Made from natural and renewable resources Conact Europe LINEO n.v info@lineo.eu +33 232 431 367 Contact US/Asia LINEO North America benoit@lineo.eu +1 514 531 3453 www.lineo.eu

Powerful by Nature Properties of Flax Fibres Properties of composite parts Given values are for pressed laminates comprising 12 layers of unidirectional (UD) flax fibers of 180 g/m2 and epoxy resin (Huntsman Epoxy 5086). Fiber volume fraction: 58-60%. Curing cycle: 2h@130° C. All information is believed to be accurate but we advice to perform your own characterization.
