243 Code Sheet Size Thickness TA2612 1000 x 600mm 1.6mm TFC (Thermoformable Composite) is a versatile thermoformable carbon composite material. TFC combines the high localised strength of carbon composite with the modeling properties of thermoplastics. Available in unidirectional and bidirectional, the carbon fibres are interwoven with a revolutionary thermoplastic fibre that allows the material to be heated and formed at lower temperatures. This thermoplastic material also acts as a high-strength matrix for active performance and flexibility. TFC can be simply custom formed to your mould with a heat gun or by placing the material into an oven. Your custom lay-up is then placed in an oven under vacuum at a maximum of 221°C for 30-45 minutes to consolidate the lay-up into one piece for an individual orthotic or prosthetic solution. TFC is also fully heat remouldable, and allows adjustable fitting just like thermoplastics. TFC Carbon Composites UD = maximum strength in one direction. Good for uprights, insoles & general appliance strengthening. Unidirectional Sheets Use for rigid insoles and uprights. Unidirectional - Carbonfibre Code Sheet Size Thickness TA2614 1000 x 600mm 2.5mm Use for bars and other rigid parts. Unidirectional - Carbon & Glassfibre Code Sheet Size Thickness TA2621 1000 x 600mm 0.75mm TA2624 1000 x 600mm 1.5mm The same strength in 0° and 90° directions. Good for difficult shapes like the heel. 3D Form (Bidirectional) Sheets Good for opening flaps and flexible toe-off parts. 3D Form - Glassfibre Code Sheet Size Thickness TA2627 1000 x 600mm 1.5mm TA2632 1000 x 600mm 0.75 Use for rigid foot plates and arch supports. 3D Form - Glass & Carbonfibre TFC Carbon Composites
