SpectraCarb Aralon Stockinette

Spectra™ fiber is one of the world’s strongest and lightest fibers, pound for pound ten times stronger than steel and more durable than polyester. Carbon fiber has become common in the O&P industry and is used in many other industries where strength, stiffness, light weight, and outstanding fatigue characteristics are important. Aralon combines Kevlar and Nylon and provides superior impact and fatigue resistance. Aralon is 40% stronger than fiberglass, while weighing half as much. The strength-to-weight ratio is approximately 21/2 times superior to fiberglass and it eliminates itching.

Features

  • Very easy to work with
  • Wets out very well
  • Provides both strength and fatigue resistance which cuts down on layers needed in the lamination
  • Very light-weight
  • Contours nicely to virtually any shape mold without bridging or causing air pockets
  • Safer to work with than carbon/fiberglass
  • Can be heated and reshaped without delaminating
  • Easy to smooth out the edges and grind
