monolithiC solid carbon is a carbon fibre rigging system manufactured from uni-directional continuously wound Tow pre-impregnated carbon fibre.
Technology
Solid carbon offers the lowest possible cross-sectional area, and the manufacturing method allows for the cable to be shaped in elliptical or aerodynamic profiles with tooling, if required.
A broad choice of epoxy resin matrix is available from commercial sources; the market provides quality systems toughened and tailored towards specialisms such as Fire, Smoke & Toxicity and fire retardation for aerospace if necessary.
