HIGH STRENGTH WOVEN CARBON FABRICS
(Modulus range 230 TO 240GPa)

The first group of two numerals in a code, identified by the two asterisks in CF00nn, is generic and allows any 230 to 240GPa fibre be used. The second group of two numerals in a code, identified by the two asterisks in CFnn00, refers to one specific fibre. Please contact ACG’s sales personnel for advice.

Notes:

Nylon `peel ply' may be supplied with a release agent coating to aid removal from a laminate. NF**00 allows released or non-released variants to be used, although ACG would normally used the non-released variant. To ensure the use of the non-released variant specify NF**02.

Usually supplied with a green or red pinstripe in the warp.

Key:

Tex:136 x 2 = Two strands of 136 tex fibre twisted together.
17% x 2 = 17% fibre in -45° direction and 17% fibre in +45° direction.

The first group of two numerals in a code, identified by the two asterisks in GF**??, will specify non-dyed fibre, but will allow any fabric finish to be used. In order to fully specify the finish or to specify dyed glass, the last group of two numerals must be provided. Please contact ACG's sales personnel for advice.
