Carbon Fiber Spread Tow Fabric

Spread tow refers to yarn that has been processed through spreading technology. This technology involves widening and thinning the yarn bundle while ensuring the fiber's mechanical properties are minimally affected. Compared to traditional yarn, spread tow has advantages such as lower yarn bending, higher fiber straightening, and higher fiber strength utilization. Spread tow fabric is a fabric woven using spread yarn and is a new type of carbon fiber reinforced material. This fabric has characteristics such as low yarn bending, low surface density, good lay-flat properties, and high design flexibility. In comparison to traditional fabrics, spread tow fabrics show significant performance improvements in fiber utilization, mechanical properties, surface density, thickness, lay-flat properties, and crack suppression. Due to the large width of spread tow after spreading treatment and its poor shape stability, the weaving process for spread tow fabrics requires high precision. Therefore, spread tow fabrics are mainly woven fabrics, with plain weave spread fabrics being the most commonly used. Xcellent Composites offers a variety of carbon fiber spread tow fabrics in different specifications, known for their excellent mechanical performance and cost-effectiveness.
