Flax Sleeve

Flax Sleeve

Flax sleeves are suitable for the production of profiles of any kind, as spars or other hollow constructions, whereby a suitable application process ensures that the force-absorbing reinforcing fibre of the flax sleeve is free of air bubbles, all-over and seamless - thus without loss of strength - even around the edge of the shaping core and is sufficiently impregnated with the resin system used. For high torsional or shear strength, a 45° angle is optimal. The diameter of the flax braided sleeve can be changed by stretching or compressing, but the fibre angle should ideally be between 30° and 60°. Reinforcement in the 0° direction can be achieved with so-called UD threads, which are also braided in. Another material can certainly be used for this purpose.
As a natural fibre, flax sleeves are 100% recyclable and offer a comparably high tensile strength as glass fibre sleeves despite their lower weight.
Flax sleeves can be processed into natural fibre composites by embedding them in epoxy or polyester matrices.
