TeXtreme® fibre reinforcements at R&G – lightweight, strong and versatile

What is TeXtreme®?

TeXtreme® is a special type of fibre reinforcement. These fabrics are made of carbon fibres. They are known for being particularly lightweight while still offering very high strength and stiffness. Thanks to their special processing, TeXtreme® products are thinner and smoother than many other fibre fabrics.

This gives them an attractive, uniform appearance and makes them perfect for many applications where low weight and high performance are required.

The main advantages of TeXtreme® fibre reinforcements

• Very light:
  Components made from TeXtreme® often weigh significantly less than those made from conventional fabrics. This is important in areas such as aviation, motorsport and sports equipment, where every gram counts.
• High strength and stiffness:
  TeXtreme® ensures that components are very stable and can withstand even high forces. This achieves the highest levels of strength and stiffness required in many industries.
• Very good mechanical properties:
  Products made from TeXtreme® are particularly resistant to tension, pressure and bending. This makes them reliable and durable.
• Attractive appearance:
  The fibres lie very flat and evenly, creating an elegant carbon look. This is not only attractive to technology enthusiasts, but also to designers and architects.
• Material-saving:
  The thin structure means that less resin is needed. This saves weight and conserves resources.
• Easy adaptation:
  The fabrics are flexible and adapt well to different shapes. This makes it easy to manufacture even complex components.

Typical applications for TeXtreme®

TeXtreme® fibre reinforcements can be found wherever lightweight construction and high performance are required:

• Aerospace:
  Aircraft, helicopters and drones benefit from low weight and high stability.
• Motorsport and automotive engineering:
  Racing cars, motorcycles and high-quality road sports cars use TeXtreme® to become faster and safer.
• Bicycles and sports equipment:
  Lightweight bicycle frames, rims, rowing boats, skis and helmets are increasingly being made from TeXtreme®.
• Boats and yachts:
  Here, too, the low weight helps to increase speed and save fuel.
• Design and furniture:
  Stylish chairs, tables and lamps made from TeXtreme® are not only lightweight, but also real eye-catchers.
• Medical technology:
  The material ensures comfort and safety in prostheses, wheelchairs and orthopaedic aids.

Why choose TeXtreme®?

TeXtreme® can be used to manufacture components that offer maximum strength and rigidity. Its excellent mechanical properties ensure that components are durable and function reliably. Its low weight saves fuel and energy, which is particularly advantageous in aviation and motorsport. At the same time, the material is flexible in use, looks modern and is easy to process.

More information about TeXtreme® fibre reinforcements

TeXtreme® is often chosen when traditional materials such as aluminium or steel are too heavy.

TeXtreme® is also in high demand for repairs or lightweight conversions of existing projects.

The typical carbon look is not only functional, but is also used specifically as a design element.

Many well-known brands in professional sports rely on TeXtreme® for their products.

With TeXtreme® fibre reinforcements from R&G, you get solutions for a wide range of industries – always with the aim of saving weight while achieving the best strength and stiffness as well as excellent mechanical properties.
