The material is chosen together with the technology
Fabric, prepreg and finished sheet are at different stages of the production chain. It is incorrect to compare them as interchangeable positions: one task requires the selection of reinforcement and binder, the other requires a finished slab with a given processing geometry.
Therefore, the first question in this section is in what form the material should enter your process. Then the reinforcement structure, delivery form, surface requirements, batch size and available manufacturing method are specified.
Quick selection by project stage
| Situation | Preliminary referral | What to confirm |
|---|---|---|
| Need to mold your own part | Dry fabric + compatible binder or prepreg | Equipment, layout, mode, control and position documents |
| Need a ready-made flat blank | Carbon sheet | Geometry, thickness as a design parameter, processing and quantity |
| Need a long element | Tube or rod | Section, length between supports, connections and load |
| Has RF/electrical requirement | System comparison including glass or aramid reinforcement | Frequency, geometry, matrix, thickness, medium and test |
The table selects the reading direction rather than a specific position. Price and availability are confirmed in the current category table.
Frequently asked questions
How does the material differ from the shape of the product?
Material describes the reinforcement and composite system, and product shape describes the delivery geometry: sheet, tube or rod.
Where can I find the latest specifications?
On the card or documentation of the confirmed position. The Technical Center forms selection criteria, but does not replace the specification.
Is it possible to select a material only for its intended purpose?
The purpose sets the context, but geometry, load, process, quantity and outcome criteria are needed.
Why are grids and tapes provided for reference only?
They are not confirmed as independent current CORDTEX product groups. Information articles explain the form of the material and lead to related approved categories or to request a rating.
How do I request material that is not listed?
Describe the task and the required form of delivery through a single request; Delivery availability is confirmed separately.
