PowerRibs™ is a fabric in the form of ribs made from natural (flax) fibers, designed to significantly increase bending stiffness in thin-walled composites.
PowerRibs creates a structure resembling ribbing, which imitates the venation of a leaf for applications requiring high structural performance. When combined with natural ampliTex™ fibers, it is possible to achieve the same bending stiffness and weight as a monolithic carbon fiber laminate.
The fabric has a width of 1100 mm and is sold by the linear meter.
