Applications

Structural aircraft parts

Characteristics

Excellent thermal & dimensional stability
Performs with no strength loss up to temperatures of 320°F for extended periods
Lighter in weight than E-Glass with higher specific strengths
Sensitive to direct exposure from UV light; however, demonstrates little or no change in a composite when it is indirectly exposed to UV light
Will not melt or support combustion, however, it will begin to caramelize at approximately 800°F

Configurations

500-yard roll lengths
Standard widths: 38″, 50″
Standard finish: 618 scouring process to remove extractible material (to less than .01%) maximizing resin compatibility.
Specifications: AMS 3902: This specification covers cloth woven from high modulus, continuous, multifilament aramid yarn.
