Carbon Spreading Capabilities (ZB)

 


In many end products it is desirable to have a lower crimp fabric to reduce resin rich areas. Hexcel’s “ZB” finishing process for carbon fabrics will give you a more uniform spread where the filaments in each tow are spread out creating a thinner and more closed fabric that can give you better mechanicals and less porosity in a composite. “ZB” can also be used to lower the mass in a composite where lighter weight is the key characteristic.
