• Knitted

    • Excellent drape
    • Soft handle/touch
    • Good stretch before breakage
    • Low fraying
    • Reduced fibre shedding compared to woven materials.
    Knitted carbon cloth

  • Woven

    • Low stretch
    • Rougher texture
    • Improved air permeability
    Woven carbon cloth

  • Nonwoven

    • Lower mechanical strength than knitted and woven formats.
    • Very low stretch
    • Higher open porosity between random fibres: Ideal for static gas diffusion applications
    Felt carbon cloth

  • Composite

    C-TEX composite materials are standard products, which are laminated to secondary materials or made up of multi-layers of C-TEX in order to produce structure unique properties. Typical laminates include:

    • Heat formable backings to enable subsequent manufacture of pleated structures.
    • Fluoropolymer membrane for vapour permeable materials.
    • Non-permeable films
    • Textile fabrics to improve durability or to provide additional properties.

  • Impregnation

    C-TEX can be impregnated with materials such as silver, copper chloride, citric acid, TEDA or alternative impregnants in order to provide enhanced chemisorption of specific challenges.
