Bcomp flax fabric – Unidirectional (150gms)
€7.50 – €19.50 "incl. VAT"
Natural flax from Bcomp.
150gms UD directional. multiple width.
This material is 100% natural and excellent for all products. The stiffness is higher then glass fabric, but lower then carbon. Please see datasheet and try simulator to get an idea.
For simulation use:
Density: 1350
Y modulus: 58500

Another great property is that the material works well as a dampener. This means you can use the Biaxial and UD flax together or you can combine them with glass or carbon.
pr. 1m length. If more is ordered then it is rolled as one piece.
Note: This fabric will take more epoxy then glass or carbon fabric.
Instructions: The flax fiber absorbs more resin.
Pneumatic presses with ~5 bar is recommended to make good laminate with minimum excess resin.
Vacuum press: follow this resin quantity recommendations: resin / (resin + fabric) = 60%
Spread the resin well with a roll on a flat surface or pour the epoxy on to the fabric and then make a roll out of it. Then let it soak for some minutes. Much easier than try to smear it out.
Tip: Use masking tape when cutting it for better result!
