Discover Our Woven Reinforcements
Woven reinforcements are the result of at least two threads which are interlaced at 0° (the warp) and 90° (the weft), with the weave style varying according to the required performance. Woven reinforcements are available in a wide range of weave patterns including plain, twill, and satin weaves. Woven reinforcements are easy to handle, provide good drape and formability, and look good.
Unidirectional Fabrics
Hexcel’s unidirectional reinforcements are nonwoven carbon fabrics that have 99% of the areal weight in the 0 direction and are stabilized by a thin proprietary warp thread.
