Carbon Fiber Tow
Details
Description
Carbon Fiber Tow is a high strength, medium modulus carbon fiber tow, also referred to as a ribbon, loosely bonded together with an epoxy sizing to hold the fibers for handling and bonding purposes.
It is ideal for fabricating small, high strength, low weight structures and can be used to filament wind tubes or for compression molding applications. It is suitable for use in wet layup, vacuum bagging and resin infusion manufacturing.
Carbon Fiber Tow is compatible with polyester, vinyl-ester and epoxy resins and wets out easily.
