Economically priced equivalent to Carbon Fiber Most using Carbon Fiber know that it very often falls into short supplies and sometimes has even gone off the market completely for months. Thus causing the price to sky rocket, costing anywhere from $35 to $70 per sq. yard. Basalt Fabric is a very viable alternative for a fraction of the cost, and now it is available in America. Some unscrupulous people actually sell Basalt Fiber as Carbon Fiber because it turns black when resin is added, but to the educated eye Basalt is a beautiful golden amber before resin wet out, (looks like anodized gold or gold plated). Even after it turns black when wet out, it still has a beautiful amber glow at certain angles. Carbon Fiber is black at all times unless it is a highbrid version. This Basalt Fabric for sale today is: 39 inches by 15 feet or one meter by five yards Surface density of 350 g/m sq. Can be used with polyester, vinyl ester, or epoxy resins Please, no more than 10 yards per order at this time. (Basalt fiber composite fabric - 5 yards is the responsibility of Lindsay Burgess) |
