Product Data Sheet ampliTex® Art. No. 5031 ampliTex® Art. No. 5031 natural low twist flax/ balanced weave (0°/90°) 200 gsm Product description Bidirectional fabric with fibers oriented at 0° and 90°, suitable for manufacturing fiber reinforced composite products with a high performance and a low environmental impact. ampliTex® 5031 has a very good drapability and is ideal for complex shapes. High laminate stiffness is obtained due to the low crimp satin weave. 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 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 gsm 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 gsm can replace a 275 gsm glass fiber 0°/90° fabric to have the same stiffness. * Properties measured on samples with 5 layers aligned at 0°, manufactured in a press with 5 bars pressure (45% fiber weight, 40% fiber volume fraction), with Epoxy Araldite 5052 ** Properties calculated from tests with UD fabrics with the same fibers

Grown in France and Belgium, flax used at Bcomp is a regional resource. Production of flax has a negative global warming indicator because of the CO2 sequestration by photosynthesis. ■ Human toxicity 0,2 ampliTex flax Glass fibres Product Data Sheet ampliTex® Art. No. 5031 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 moulding (BIM) and compression moulding • Flax fibres always contain some humidity...
