The Drapables Our textile materials made from carbon, glass, and aramid fibers SIGRATEX® Composites – Fibers & Materials

± 45° SIGRATEX® biaxial carbon fiber fabrics Tailored textile solution They have two layers, two orientations, one plane – and numerous advantages for our customers: our biaxially fixed carbon fiber fabrics with ± 45° orientation. Due to their stretched fibers, non-crimp fabrics have much better mechanical properties than woven fabrics. Our biaxial carbon fiber fabrics are made exclusively from high-quality carbon fiber tows with 50 000 filaments that we produce ourselves. Biaxial fabrics from SGL are easy to handle, easy to infuse with resin – and, above all, have very good drapability....

Our textile materials made from carbon, glass, and aramid fibers Textile materials from SGL make composites extremely light, stiff, and strong. They have good drapability, are easy to process, and are compatible with different resin systems. Our portfolio includes a broad spectrum of non-crimp textiles, woven fabrics, woven tapes, and non-wovens. We can supply customer-tailored variants for specific requirements.

Solutions for high-quality components Textile materials from SGL form the ideal basis for the production of high-quality fiber-reinforced plastics . They are suitable for a wide variety of processing technologies and open up new possibilities in the serial production of fiber-reinforced components. Particularly in high-tech applications, where very high strength and stiffness coupled with minimal weight are required, SIGRATEX products are used worldwide - for example in the automotive industry, the aerospace industry, the energy sector, and other industrial applications. As solution...

Material from which the strongest components are made SIGRATEX products from SGL are used mainly as reinforcing materials for the production of components subject to high service stress. For this purpose, we supply a comprehensive portfolio of high-quality non-crimp textiles, woven fabrics, woven tapes and non-wovens based on carbon, glass, and aramid fibers. With their outstanding properties, such as good drapability, they form the ideal basis for lightweight, high-strength components. SIGRATEX textiles made from carbon fibers

SIGRATEX non-crimp fabrics are high-quality textile reinforcing materials that we produce for our customers from our SIGRAFIL continuous carbon fiber tow containing 50 000 filaments (50k) or from glass fibers Our 50k carbon fibers are produced exclusively in our own plants in Europe and North America. mp fabrics made from carbon and glass fibers . i .

The Drapables | Non-crimp textiles Non-crimp textiles consist of one or more layers [plies] of fibers placed in the same or different orientations - so-called unidirectional or multiaxial fabrics. The fibers are stitched together with knitting threads. Unlike with woven fabrics, the fibers in non-crimp textiles are stretched out straight and strategically placed in line with the expected stresses. In this way, additional structural elongation is avoided, which gives the fabrics better mechanical properties for use as textile reinforcing materials. We offer our fabrics with different...

Our SIGRATEX unidirectional fabrics consist of special 12k up to 50k carbon fibers and glass fibers. They are stitched with a fine polyester yarn or fixed with a very lightweight single- or doublesided scrim. With medium to high filament counts, low areal weights can be achieved with corresponding cost advantages. This makes our unidirectional SIGRATEX fabrics suitable for many different applications. Their variable width additionally opens up the spectrum of use. Material data of our SIGRATEX® stitched unidirectional carbon fiber fabrics Weight of carbon Weight of glass Weight of Weight of...

The Drapables | Non-crimp textiles SIGRATEX® multiaxial fabrics SIGRATEX multiaxial fabrics are textile complexes with targeted fiber orientation that enable many different, efficient structures to be produced. They are stitched with a fine polyester yarn. SIGRATEX multiaxial fabrics offer greater stability with reduced material use. They also allow better optimization of component design, while cutting production costs at the same time.
