Characteristics of Carbon Fabric Constructions:
Carbon Fabrics are available in different constructions. The important characteristics you will find below:
Plain
Twill
|
-
Diagonally running lines are characteristic
-
Better drapability than plain weave
-
Less slip-resistant
-
Suitable for complicated geometries
|
Satin
|
-
Suitable for complicated geometries
-
Very good drapability
-
Low slip-resistance
-
Less mesh crossing, therefore strength in the laminate
-
Leaves a very smooth surface
