Magic Flow UD
- Magic Flow UD
Maximum flow rate for component thicknesses up to 140 mm
This unidirectional carbon NCF is one of our specially developed material solutions for applications with high laminate thicknesses. The flow-optimized carbon fabric aims to avoid dry spots in the laminate and significantly improve component quality - with maximum flow speed for particularly thick laminates.
Typical areas of application
Better protection against dry spots in the laminate
The risk of so-called „dry spots“ exists in particular if the textile reinforcement material has a low flow rate. The resulting incompletely impregnated areas impair the load-bearing capacity and service life of the end components, with potentially critical consequences for safety and performance.
Our Magic Flow UD has been specially developed to meet this challenge:
- Maximum flow speed and impregnability
- Reduced risk of dry spots
- Ideally suited in particular for laminate structures from 120 layers upwards
The advantages of Magic Flow UD at a glance
Application-optimized for thick laminate structures up to 140 mm
Efficient processing in all applications with particularly thick laminates.
Up to 3.5× faster infusion
Optimized impregnability for shorter cycle times in vacuum infusion processes.
Easy handling & high design freedom
Easy to process, even with complex geometries and large components.
5% higher compressive strength
Excellent mechanical properties in terms of strength in bending, stiffness and compression compared to standard NCF.
Developed for large structural components in wind and marine applications
Our Magic Flow UD shows its strength wherever thick laminate cross-sections and long resin paths are a challenge.
Typical areas of application:
Wind energy
Blade chords of particularly long rotor blades
Boatbuilding
Structural components such as foils, masts and rotorsails

Flow-optimized carbon UDs
When laminating carbon structures with high component thicknesses, the risk of dry spots increases - with negative effects on load-bearing capacity, service life and process reliability. We offer you a tailor-made selection of specially developed, flow-optimized UD fabrics, adapted to different thickness ranges and requirements.
| Layers / Thickness | Description |
|---|---|
| < 50 layers / ~30 mm | Basic Line The economical solution for simple structures - lightweight & cost-efficient |
| 50-120 layers / ~30-70 mm | Steady Plus UD For medium to high thickness applications - highest mechanical performance, low resin absorption and stable impregnation behavior |
| > 120 layers / > ~70 mm | Magic Flow UD The high-end solution for very thick laminate cross-sections - for maximum flow speed and process reliability at the highest thicknesses |
