The Circumferential Fiber Orientation and Unidirectional Fiber Orientation tubing process refers to the geometry option of the fiber rather than the material selection. Braiding is a process that interweaves or interlocks the fibers into a circular shape, this can include other symmetrical geometrical shapes. This process also uses an electrical grade continuous fiber material encapsulated within a thermoset resin matrix. Braiding offers a unique solution for very thin wall applications. Some have been as thin as 0.008". For some unique applications, secondary unidirectional fibers can be added to increase the tensile strength.
Key Features
High strength-to-weight ratio
Thin wall cross-section
High hoop and burst strength
Excellent dielectric properties
Electromagnetically transparent
Proven bio-compatibility
USP Class VI and ISO 10993 compliant
Multiple finish option
