Unidirectional Carbon Fiber Fabric - HORSE Construction

Unidirectional carbon fiber fabric, as a new advanced structural reinforcement strengthening material, there are many designers, contractors, applicator and owner who do not understand it. Its advantages are even less understood.

Want to know what unidirectional carbon fiber fabric can do for you? Keep reading to discover the answer!

What is unidirectional carbon fiber fabric?

The carbon fiber of unidirectional fabric has only one direction.

It is "unidirectional" simply because the fibers (without weaving) all move in a uniform and parallel direction.

Unidirectional carbon fiber fabric is mainly used for building reinforcement. Some people choose to use this carbon fiber because of its special advantages. Because of its light weight, high modulus and strong corrosion resistance, it is an ideal substitute for reinforced concrete structures (such as buildings, bridges, etc.).

Advantages of unidirectional carbon fiber fabric

Strength is only one of the advantages of unidirectional fiber. It turns out that there are many other advantages!

The design of the fiber greatly increases the stretching potential of this fabric. In short, you get an additional tensile potential whose weight density is only a small part of traditional woven fibers.

The light weight of the material itself is a special advantage. The weight range is 200-900gsm. Thanks to the low weight of this carbon fiber, you can achieve higher accuracy in engineering.

Flexibility is as important as strength. Using unidirectional fibers, you can overlap in different angles and directions to maximize strength in different areas while keeping the fabric strong and strong.

We all know that aesthetics is an important part of any design. Use unidirectional fiber to achieve a very pleasing dynamic new appearance.

Still don't believe you should use unidirectional carbon fiber? In addition to all these other advantages, using it can save production costs instead of relying on more expensive and complex materials.
