Who sells sub roll quantities of UD carbon above 24 inch widths?
Have you used it before? Even with prepreg it’s rare to find 30" or wider.
That’s odd, we used to use Newport uni prepreg and the rolls were 1000mm. We have moved to ACG and we got 600mm rolls in our first order and the next we will get 1000mm again. We just requested the size we need.
Cytec Cycom has up to 60" width…
as for dry fiber…i’m sure lots of people do. Every roll we have is 50" at least. no idea what companies yet though.
check with the normal companies. Maybe Northern Fiberglass Sales?
Check with Core Composites in Newport R.I. The owner is Rich O’Meara and he seems to be able to source just about anything. The phone # is 401-846-6008.
It also helps that he is a throughly nice guy:)
You have a bunch of 50" wide unidirectional carbon rolls? Must be tough to handle those plies!
I find unidirectional materials with the hot melt far easier than the woven as far as holding their strands. Though less formable to contours.
I can’t stand the curling the wide rolls have. I have to use so much tack spray for the layer to stay flat! I’m sure it’s from the woven binding thread…but…ack!
