Chomarat, a specialist in textile reinforcements for composite materials, is launching C-WEAVE Spread at China Composites Expo 2013 that will take place from 11-13 September, at the NCIEC Beijing.

The company is extending its line of carbon reinforcements with C-Weave SP, a new line of spread carbon fabrics for composite parts with high aesthetic performance requirements, especially for the high-end automotive, sports & leisure, luggage, and telephone markets.

C-Weave SP

C-Weave SP spread carbon fabric is made with 200 g/m² 3K fibres and is available in plain or twill weave. C-Weave SP achieves a 99% spreading rate (compared to the usual average 85-92% rate).

According to the company, at this rate, it is possible to obtain carbon composite parts with a surface layer that is 20% lighter (compared to 245 g/m² 3K fibres), with impeccable surface quality and optimised aesthetics, performance and cost.

Chomarat

Chomarat, the producer of technical textiles for reinforcement, roofing and moulding applications, is focused on manufacturing products for a number of markets.

These include the wind energy market, the oil and gas market, the construction industry and also high end fabrics that have a cosmetic appeal out of carbon fibre that are used in the automotive market as well as the sports and leisure goods.
