Excellent for thin walls

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.
