Biaxial Carbon Fiber
If you are searching for a versatile and high-performance reinforcement for your composite application, biaxial carbon fiber is an excellent solution. Engineered for multidirectional strength while maintaining flexibility and drapeability, this material is ideal for a wide range of structural components. At Eurocarbon, we offer both standard and custom configurations to suit your exact technical needs.
What Is Biaxial Carbon Fiber?
Biaxial carbon fiber is a type of reinforcement fabric constructed with carbon fibers oriented in two directions, typically +45° and -45°, or 0° and 90°. The fibers are stitched together without crimping, preserving their mechanical properties and ensuring even load distribution across the composite part. This bidirectional architecture offers superior in-plane strength, ideal for components subject to multidirectional stress. Besides stitched fabrics, biaxial braid is another form of biaxial reinforcement. This braid is particularly suitable for components like tubes, joints, and other curved profiles where both torsional and bending stiffness are critical.
The Advantages of Biaxial Carbon Fiber
- Excellent multidirectional strength: Due to fiber orientation in two axes
- Lightweight: With high strength-to-weight ratio
- Flexible and drapeable: Conforms well into complex shapes
- Consistent quality: Due to stable stitching and controlled fiber alignment
- Compatible with various resins: Including epoxy, vinylester and polyester
- Low waste: Especially when cut to net shape or used in perform assemblies
This optimal balance of stiffness and conformability makes biaxial carbon fiber a go-to solution for advanced composite designs.
