X.FIBER®* is a
laminated material, designed and patented by Daniel GASTEL.
This composite material comes in the form of woven fiber sheets, which can be manufactured in several different ways:
- glass, carbon, aramide, ceramic fibers or
- any combination of two or more of these different fibers.
The sheets are held together by a heat-hardened resin, the resulting material delivers both very high technical performance and excellent peelability.
| Lightness |
|
When the demand is for lighter materials, X.FIBER®* proves itself by far
one of the lightest of laminated materials (up to 6 times lighter than steel!).
|
| Strength |
|
Being both lighter and stronger it can be used to great advantage as a replacement for carbon and stainless steels.
|
| Endurance |
|
It is comparable with laminated metals, and can be used to replace INTERCOMPOSITE®** in use at temperatures above
266°F (130°C).
Its mechanical properties remain unaffected by the rise in temperature.
|
| Rapidity |
|
The sheets can be peeled by hand, without the need for tools of any kind.
|
| Ingenuity and Economy |
|
Once they have been peeled, the sheets remain flat and free of deformation. They remain fully re-useable. |
