Carbon Fiber "Quasi - Directional" Plate
Rock West's resin infused quasi-directional plate offers superior stiffness in the 0° direction and a very unique aesthetic while maintaining some structural properties in the 90° direction to reduce the chance of the plate splitting. This plate is ~2x stiffer than our standard all fabric plate when tested in the 0° direction. In the 90° direction, stiffness reduces by a factor of 0.6x.
The first thing you may notice about this plate is its unique aesthetic. It has a woven plate appearance since the individual "tows" of carbon fiber are held in place with a very small plastic"string". This string is necessary for the uni fiber to maintain straightness during the resin infusion process.
Our 103-xx plate product has 3 plies of carbon fiber. [0/(0/90/0] where the middle ply is our 12k woven twill carbon fiber fabric.
