Flat Tow Fabrics

Overview

The sigmaFT range of advanced carbon fabrics benefits from light area weight, high closure level and a flat structure. Designed using proprietary weaving technology that enables the inline spreading of both the warp and weft tow bundles, the end result is cosmetically attractive, consistent and offers improved process-ability due to its closure level.

Applications include advanced structural parts in Aerospace, Space, UAV and Automotive sectors
