HYPETEX Colored Spread Tow Carbon Fibers

Manufactured using a special ‘spreading’ technology to make the individual tows of carbon fiber very flat and wide. The result is a fabric that smoother and flatter than a conventional woven cloth with less crimp, providing marginal stiffness advantages.

Benefits

• Outstanding flat and smooth surface finish
• Ultra light and think ply thickness for reduced weights
• Straighter fiber with reduced crimp optimize
• Idea for prepreg and infusion processes

The carbon fiber industry is set for an injection of color following the official launch of Hypetex, the world’s first colored carbon fiber brand.

Hypetex® coloring technologies are optimized for either thermoset or
thermoplastic matrix systems, and are mechanically characterized to aid structural optimization. All our materials are quality assured to the highest industry standards.

Hypetex® technologies use water based resins and nano pigments that puts color onto the composite at the point of production, removing the need for expensive paints or coatings. The result is a colorful premium aesthetic part straight from the mold, reducing post processing costs and offering a more environmentally friendly coloring solution.
