Carbon Braids

Carbon Fibre Tubular Braids which are sometimes referred to as a Carbon Fibre ‘socks’, are ideal for Tubular composite applications such as prosthesis manufacturing. Known for their ability to expand and contract, they are able to expand their width up to 30% from their ±45° orientation and can contract up to 50%.
