TeXtreme® Woven Spread Tow Gapped UD

TeXtreme® Spread Tow Gapped UD is an advanced dry unidirectional reinforcement developed for resin infusion processes such as vacuum infusion, RTM, AFP, and ATL. This material enables efficient, high-quality manufacturing of lightweight composite components without the need for autoclave processing.

The fabric features a flat, crimp-free Spread Tow architecture with precisely engineered gaps between the fiber tows. These gaps act as dedicated resin flow channels, improving permeability and ensuring rapid, uniform wet-out across complex laminate structures. Despite the open layout, the design maintains a high fiber volume fraction exceeding 60%, delivering the strength and stiffness typically expected from fully consolidated laminates.

Engineered for out-of-autoclave environments, TeXtreme® Gapped UD combines structural efficiency with manufacturing flexibility. The dry format allows for fiber customization and supports scalable production in applications where both performance and process optimization are essential.

Key Benefits

  •  Engineered gaps enhance resin flow for fast and consistent wet-out
  • High fiber volume fraction ensures excellent mechanical properties
  • Flat, crimp-free architecture improves load transfer and structural integrity
  • Dry format supports efficient, cost-effective processing outside of autoclave
