Description
UD Unidirectional Carbon Fiber Strip
Product Overview
Our UD carbon fiber strips are manufactured via professional pultrusion molding process with 100% continuous unidirectional carbon fiber and high-strength epoxy resin. Distinct from woven carbon fiber profiles with grid textures, all carbon filaments align straight along the strip’s length, forming a delicate, consistent linear silk grain across the entire surface without crisscross woven patterns.
We supply multiple thickness and width specifications to meet diverse custom demands. Two standard surface treatments are available: matte bare carbon finish with a low-gloss industrial texture, and glossy clear coat finish that highlights the neat unidirectional fiber lines for premium visual effects. Each flat strip features an ultra-smooth burr-free surface, uniform thickness, perfect straightness, and compact internal structure without delamination or deformation. The strips support flexible secondary processing, including cutting, drilling, bonding, grinding and CNC machining for prototype testing and mass production.
Core Performance Advantages
1. Outstanding Axial Mechanical Performance
With fibers arranged parallel to the load direction, UD strips eliminate fiber bending loss from weaving, delivering remarkably higher tensile strength and bending stiffness along the length compared to 3K woven carbon flat bars.
2. Ultra-Light Weight & Stable Dimension
Density only reaches 1.55 g/cm³, much lighter than aluminum and steel. It owns a near-zero thermal expansion coefficient, resisting warping or distortion under drastic temperature changes.
3. Excellent Durability & Safety
The composite material is acid, alkali and seawater corrosion resistant, non-rusting and anti-fatigue for long-cycle repeated loads. It also features insulation and non-magnetic properties, suitable for precision electronic and medical imaging equipment without magnetic interference.
