Carbon and aramid hybrid fabrics

Carbon and aramid in one construction

These materials combine both fibres, but the laminate's result also depends on their arrangement and the resin system. Fabric appearance alone does not define its structural application.

Select flat fabric or tubular sleeve according to the part geometry. For material with resin already incorporated, browse hybrid prepregs, which require their own processing and storage conditions.

Applications and material selection

The flat fabrics are described for laminates combining carbon stiffness and aramid toughness, using hand lay-up, infusion or RTM. When preparing patterns, allow for suitable aramid cutting tools; the product information recommends serrated scissors.

For tubular shapes compare aramid and hybrid sleeves; for incorporated resin, carbon/aramid prepregs.
