Dry Braided Red Aramid/Carbon Hybrid Sleeve - Biaxial +/-45° - Medium Weight - (+options)

Our braided red Aramid/Carbon Fiber hybrid sleeves expand by about 20-25% of their original/nominal diameter and they pull down by about 60% of the nominal. These fabrics are an excellent choice if you are trying to balance great strength while retaining a good amount of stiffness in your laminate. The Aramid also offers resistance in impact and abrasion specific applications, plus they just look awesome! Aramid fibers are difficult to cut/grind without special equipment (Rock West offers electric shears) and Aramid can suffer some corrosion/degradation by UV light. For this reason they must be properly coated. Rock West offers leading UV inhibited Resins & Hardeners, Super Sap CLR and Super Sap CCR.
