Formax - new ultra-light carbon multiaxials
Technical details
Producer: Formax (UK)

Formax, based in Leicester, UK, has recently introduced a new 6k biaxial carbon fabric with a total weight of just 100 g/m2 (50 g/m2 per layer), to complement its existing range of 12k biaxials with weights of over 150+ g/m2 (75 g/m2 per layer).

“We see continuing demand for our type of reinforcement products, and recognition in the marketplace that customers value the service and technical interaction that only a specialist can offer,” says Oliver Wessely, the company’s managing director.

Formax was founded in 1999 to focus on producing specialty reinforcements for the composite industry, although it inherited the engineering and textile knowledge of a traditional textile business that went back many decades. The company is privately owned by two long-standing UK-based textile families. (www.lucintel.com)
