This plain weave carbon fiber is the most commonly used type for lightweight aerodynamic parts. Only three layers are typically necessary to produce non-structural pieces. It wets out quickly and handles easily.  

(Typical full roll length is 100 yards)

GINGHER® Scissors are lightweight, extremely sharp and comfortable. These 2-1/2 oz. scissors are perfect for use during the lay-up for a variety of purposes and can be soaked in acetone for easy clean up. We recommend saving one pair for only cutting Kevlar® and keeping a second pair for general use.  

System 2000 Epoxy Resin is a medium viscosity, light amber laminating resin that is designed for fabricating parts and other demanding structural applications. Use this system to maximize the physical properties of carbon fiber, Kevlar®, and glass laminates! Test results have proven superiority over other room temperature epoxies. Its low viscosity and great handling characteristics make it a favorite in the shop too!

Three high performance hardener systems are available for the System 2000 resin. 20 minute, 60 minute and 120 minute pot life versions are all options. This added variety allows the fabricator to select the system best suited to the size, complexity, or time-frame of the project. Simple parts which need to be demolded quickly should use the 20 minute hardener. Larger and more complex parts can use either of the other hardeners.

Vacuum Bagging applications would typically warrant the longest 2 hour working time. As with any epoxy system, adhere to the proper mix ratios and maintain an adequate curing temperature of at least 70 degrees F. The cure time will be cut in half for every 10 degrees F that the temperature is raised above 70 degrees F. Purchase a single cure, or buy resin in bulk and order a variety of hardeners to keep on hand for any project. 

Chopped strand mat contains a binder which prevents proper bonding with any epoxy resins. Use our polyester or vinyl ester resins with chopped strand mat.

First, select the amount of System 2000 Resin that you will need. Then select your needed curing agent or combination of curing agents. Remember, these are not exact kits, so be sure you have enough Hardener!

Kevlar® tape is ideal for selective reinforcement of Kevlar®, fiberglass or carbon laminations and repairs. This plain weave style offers optimum stability and drapeability for wrapping or laying in strips. Highly recommended in lieu of cutting Kevlar® into small strips.

Graphite Tapes are ideal for selective reinforcement of graphite fabrications, sleeve winding, lap joining, and repairs of cracks on graphite surfaces.

Kevlar® pulp is the lightest of the fillers and highly abrasion resistant. Areas of high impact can easily be reinforced with this strong and durable material. Also, use it to make beveled fillets along edges of honeycomb cores to smooth the transition of fabric skins. Recommended for use with epoxy or vinyl ester resin. 

This vinyl ester resin is formulated for maximum corrosion resistance to most fuels, vapors, and both acidic and basic chemicals. It is also heat resistant and blended for toughness. These qualities make it perfect for repairing tank linings, blistering boat hulls, as well as fabricating tough all-around parts. Catalyze with 1.25% MEKP, Shelf Life Limited to 3 months. (Hetron 922)

Requires 1.25% MEKP.

1110/69-F kit contains (1) QUART RESIN, (1) 69-A.
1110/69-A kit contains (1) GAL RESIN, (2) 69-A.
1110/69-AK kit contains (4) GAL RESIN, (8) 69-A.

This unidirectional is made without the typical hot melt process. Consequently, there is no crimping of the fibers and only minimal binder is used. This results in the highest property unidirectional dry reinforcement available. The 9 oz is used in many marine applications such as boat hulls, as well as hockey sticks and bicycles. The Intermediate Modulus 4.3 oz Uni is used in aerospace and racing applications where maximum single directional properties are critical. 12" wide.
