Steady Plus UD
- Steady Plus UD
Outstanding quality combined with efficiency
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 compressive strength, potential savings in resin consumption and good drapability.
Typical areas of application
Better protection against dry spots in the laminate
Reliable impregnation is crucial in the production of laminates with medium to high component thickness - especially in load-bearing structures. Incompletely impregnated fibers lead to weak points in the laminate and impair the performance of the component.
Our Steady Plus UD has been specially developed to meet this challenge:
- Optimized textile architecture with high permeability for even resin distribution
- In addition, excellent mechanical properties in terms of compressive strength, compression and tension
- Ideally suited for laminate structures up to ~70 mm (120 layers)
The advantages of Steady Plus UD at a glance
Application-optimized for thick laminate structures up to 70 mm
Efficient processing in all applications with thick laminates.
High design freedom & optimized drapability
Easy to work with thanks to virtually wave- and crease-free properties.
Up to 1.6× faster infusion
Stable vacuum infusion process due to short impregnation time.
Reduction of resin consumption by up to 27%
Concrete savings potential due to high fiber volume share (in the amount of 60 %).
16% 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 Steady Plus 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
