702 and 703 Unidirectional Carbon Tapes are designed to be used
with WEST SYSTEM Brand epoxy. The hardener choice is dependent
on laminate thickness (dimensionally), the time required to perform
the operation, and ambient temperature when cure will take place.
702 and 703 carbon fibers are in tow form. A tow is like a
ribbon. The tow of this material consists of 12,000 fiber bundles per
inch of width, so it is referred to as 12K material. The tow is
continuous, and unidirectional on the ?0? axis (along the tow length).
The fibers are not twisted or woven. The white strands running on the
90 (degree) axis are polyester threads that hold the fiber bundles in
place and are non-structural. This 12K material is on the order of 11
oz (per square yard) material and measures .025" thick. Carbon fibers
are electrically conductive and have a specific gravity of 1.75.
Available in 4 sizes. 1 1/2" and 3" wide. 12' and 50' long
