Spread tow carbon fibre fabrics
Spread tow carbon fibre fabrics for manufacturing composite parts. Compare areal weights, construction and finish between products; the catalogue includes options for laminates and parts with visible carbon.
What to consider when choosing
Choosing a spread tow fabric
Spread tow is the term used by the products in this selection. There are products for hand lay-up, infusion or RTM and visual-finish variants. Check the specific application in the product information.
Do not confuse fabric appearance with the finished part's performance. Review the material, orientation and manufacturing process. For other carbon constructions, compare conventional fabrics or unidirectional reinforcement.
Applications and material selection
Spread tow describes carbon fibres spread into flat bands to form the fabric. Style 447 and E458-1 document laminates for bicycle parts, surfboards and golf or hockey sticks. For visible carbon, the Textreme references provide a bolder square pattern; band width and fabric stabilisation help compare appearance and handling.
Compare conventional carbon fibre fabrics for a different pattern, or Hypetex carbon fibre fabrics when colour is part of the finish.
