What are the Undirectional carbon fiber fabric ?

 Unidirectional carbon fiber fabric is a 12K or 24K carbon fiber reinforced material that is non-woven with all carbon fibers running in one parallel direction. The strands in this kind of cloth lay flat with no spaces between them. No cross-section weave exists that cuts the fiber strength in half in a different way. Due to the concentrated density of fibers, this fabric weave has the highest possible longitudinal tensile potential. This is equivalent to structural steel's longitudinal tensile strength at one-fifth the weight density.

   Where the UD carbon fiber fabric used for?

    Unidirectional carbon fiber fabrics are mainly used in aerospace, construction, luggage, sporting goods, machinery and equipment, shipbuilding, automobiles, etc.

    Unidirectional carbon fiber cloth is very suitable for applications where the strength in one direction is high. For example, structures that are stressed in only one direction, such as rockets, airplanes, and boats, often use unidirectional carbon fibers as reinforcement. Many cases in life, such as carbon fiber tubes used for fishing rods (such as backpacks, bicycles), use unidirectional carbon fiber. Because of its light weight and high stiffness. It is also commonly found in model airplanes, drones, model boats, model rockets, pen tubes, hockey, etc.

    The combination of carbon fiber and resin also makes unidirectional carbon fiber reinforcement more popular in construction and structural engineering. Due to the excellent tensile strength of carbon fiber, unidirectional carbon fiber cloth can be a good substitute for wood or metal in building reinforcement and reinforcement, such as bridge and building repair and reinforcement. The use of carbon fiber unidirectional cloth, with its advantages of light weight and simple construction, reduces construction time and minimizes maintenance costs.
