Utilising carbon fibers in just a single direction, unidirectional fabrics are produced in a wide range of weights with a variety of stabilising methods such as stitching, thermoplastic and scaffolding yarns. This technology is mainly used in the wind energy sector but is also increasingly being used in automotive applications, where localised reinforcement in a specific direction is beneficial.
Applications include infrastructure repair, marine, wind blades and Automotive parts such as battery enclosures and chassis reinforcement
