Gapped UD
TeXtreme® Gapped UD is a unique dry reinforcement material developed for resin infusion processes (vacuum infusion, RTM, AFP and ATL) with proven UD-prepreg performance.
TeXtreme® Gapped UD is an entirely flat (no crimp) unidirectional reinforcement which includes well controlled gaps between the fiber tows. The controlled gaps act as resin channels securing high permeability and fast wet out without losing mechanical performance. The flatness results in very high fiber volume fraction (>60%) providing mechanical properties consistent with a UD-prepreg solution.
TeXtreme® Gapped UD material system is designed for aerospace, marine and industrial customers looking for cost effective out of autoclave solutions still with prepreg performance.
