QuakeWrap™ Fabrics


CARBON FABRICS

This table summarizes the properties of some of the QuakeWrap™ carbon fabrics; other products are available or can be developed to meet the specific project requirements.†

Product Designation
VU18C VU23C TU20C TB20C
Packaging Rolls of Fabric, 50-in. wide x 50-yards long
Fiber Orientation ‡ 0°/90°
Effective Thickness per Ply 0.04 in. 0.05 in. 0.05 in. 0.05 in.
Density, ASTM-D792 1.28 g/cm³ 1.28 g/cm³ 1.27 g/cm³ 1.37 g/cm³
Direction Tested (Long. or Trans.) L L L L & T
Maximum Load per Inch Width § 4,100 lbs. 5,250 lbs. 4,750 lbs. 2,250 lbs.
Tensile Strength, ASTM-D3039 102.7 ksi 113.4 ksi 90.1 ksi 45.1 ksi
Modulus of Elasticity, ASTM-D3039 9,950 ksi 9,900 ksi 9,300 ksi 6,440 ksi
Elongation at Failure 1.1% 1.1% 1.0% 1.0%

Notes:
† The above results were obtained based on samples produced with two plies of fabric and under ideal laboratory conditions from a single lot. The average resin content of samples measured in accordance with ASTM-D2584 varied from 55% to 60% by weight. Due to variation in material properties from different lots, it is recommended that a strength reduction factor of 20% be applied to the above values.
‡ Unidirectional fabrics have negligible strength and stiffness in the transverse direction.
§ Values are reported for a single ply of fabric. Narrower width fabrics are available by special order.
