Fibre: Tenax® 400 tex (6k)

Diameter: approx. from 4-22 mm (depending on fibre angle)
Thickness: 0.35 mm

Technical data at 45° braid angle:
Diameter: 17.8 mm
Width flat: 28.0 mm
Weight: 18.1 g/m

Application:
Torsion-proof pipes of various diameters. Orthopaedic engineering (prosthesis), sport equipment construction. The sleeve diameter can be varied by clenching or stretching. Delivered in stretched condition.

Processing:
Use plenty of R&G release spray on core material (slide coating) and allow to dry. Pass sleeve over material and pull both ends for proper fit – fit under tension if necessary. Apply resin with a brush. The area to be processed can be warmed using a hairdryer if required. This will liquify the resin and impregnate the fibre quickly and safely. (Do not forget resin fumes – ensure that the room is well aired or wear a protective mask.) The core is gripped following hardening and the pipe removed. Small size components may be pre-frozen. In this way it is easier to remove the shrunken metal core.
