What are UD tapes?
Our unidirectional (UD) tapes are composite materials made with continuous reinforcing fibers aligned in a single direction and held together by a polymer resin. This structure delivers strength and stiffness primarily along the fiber direction, allowing you to place reinforcement where your design needs it most.
Performance by design.
With our UD tapes, you can create lightweight components with targeted mechanical performance. By layering tapes at different angles, you can tailor reinforcement to support loads in multiple directions, giving you greater control over how a part performs while making efficient use of material.
Expand what’s possible.
From reinforcing specific areas to building layered composite structures, our UD tapes give you flexibility to develop solutions for demanding applications. Depending on the material system and manufacturing process, they can help you reduce component weight, improve structural performance, and explore new possibilities in product design.
