    Triaxial Weave

    Use these resin-free carbon fiber sheets to reinforce or repair existing composites as well as create new composites. Mold custom-shaped composite parts by layering carbon fiber sheets with an epoxy. The epoxy (sold separately) is a two-part resin that begins to harden in 15 hours and reaches full strength in 4 days. Finished composite pieces withstand temperatures up to 250° or 350° F.
    Carbon fiber is the strongest composite we offer.
    Unidirectional Weave—Sheets with a unidirectional weave have most of their fibers running in one direction. This weave is preferred when making tubular parts, such as vehicle frames, where linear strength and rigidity are required. Often referred to as nonwoven, these are best for reinforcing applications. However, they’re hard to machine because they may splinter.
    Plain Weave—Sheets with a plain weave have fibers that are woven in alternating directions for uniform strength and rigidity in all directions. Easier to machine than carbon fiber sheets with a unidirectional weave, their woven pattern holds the fibers together to limit splintering. Plain-weave sheets are more rigid and maintain their shape better than twill-weave sheets. However, they are not as strong and easy to manipulate as twill- and triaxial-weave sheets.
    Twill Weave—Sheets with a twill weave have fibers that are woven in alternating directions for uniform strength and rigidity in all directions. Easier to machine than carbon fiber sheets with a unidirectional weave, their woven pattern holds the fibers together to limit splintering. Twill-weave sheets are stronger than plain-weave sheets. They’re also more flexible, making them easier to manipulate into complex shapes. They will not, however, retain their shape as well as plain-weave sheets.
    Triaxial Weave—Sheets with a triaxial weave have fibers that are woven in alternating directions for uniform strength and rigidity in all directions. Easier to machine than carbon fiber sheets with a unidirectional weave, their woven pattern holds the fibers together to limit splintering. Triaxial-weave sheets are stronger and more rigid than plain- and twill-weave sheets. They’re often used to reinforce or create thin composites since you won’t have to use as many layers to achieve high strength. Although they are easier to manipulate than plain-weave sheets, they are not as flexible as twill-weave sheets for making complex shapes.

    High-Strength Expandable Wire Sleeving

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Wire Sleeving. High-Strength Expandable Wire Sleeving.
    With excellent torsional strength, this sleeving withstands the extreme twisting found in robotics. Made of carbon fiber, it has impact strength similar to steel yet is lighter than plastic and rubber. Resistant to corrosion and chemicals, it’s often used to protect brake lines and hydraulic lines. It’s expandable, so it stretches to fit over items for easy installation, then tightens around its contents for a secure fit. The braided construction permits heat and moisture to dissipate. Cut with scissors or a hot-blade knife.

    Flame- and Arc-Flash-Protection Base Layer Shirts

    Wear these fitted garments under clothing for an added layer of protection against intermittent exposure to flames and radiant heat. They meet NFPA 70E standards for protection against electrical arc flashes for personal protection equipment (PPE) category 1 or 2. Check the PPE category and minimum arc rating provided for your workplace, and then select all required clothing and personal protective equipment to meet the minimum arc rating. Arc rating measures a garment’s ability to insulate the wearer from burns; the higher the arc rating, the greater the flame resistance. All base layer materials are lightweight, breathable, and moisture wicking for added comfort.
    They all comply with OSHA 29 CFR 1910.269 standards for flame and arc flash protection.
    When measuring chest size, measure around the fullest part of your chest.

    Create a barrier between you and your clean room. These coats keep dust, microbes, and other pollutants that might be on your body from contaminating the area. Reusable when washed according to clean room standards, they’ll last up to 100 washes. Make sure to wash them before your first wear. They are suitable for use in clean rooms rated to both Federal Standard and ISO classes. In both systems, clean rooms with lower class ratings have fewer contaminants. Coats are knee length.
    When choosing a size, consider your body shape and the clothes you’ll wear underneath.

    Heat-Reflective Aluminized Coats

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Jackets. Heat-Reflective Aluminized Coats.
    Often used in steel mills and glass plants, aluminized clothing reflects radiant heat and protects against sparks. These coats have no pockets so they won’t trap hot particles. They have snaps down the front and on the cuffs. A flap down the front has pull tabs to allow for quick removal.
    When measuring chest size, measure around the fullest part of your chest. Coats are oversized to fit over work clothes; take all measurements over any clothing you expect to wear under the coat.
    Carbon Fiber/Kevlar Fabric—Carbon Fiber/Kevlar blend is a heavyweight fabric that lasts longer than other Kevlar blends. It holds up in higher temperatures than other materials while providing excellent abrasion and cut resistance. It provides protection against molten metal splashes.
