Multiaxial carbon fiber fabrics manufacturer Sky Advanced Materials (Fót, Hungary) has appointed Matrix Composite Materials Co. Ltd. (Bristol, U.K.) as its U.K. distribution partner. A distributor of high-performance materials for composites, Matrix will now stock and distribute Sky’s comprehensive range of multiaxial and woven carbon fiber reinforcements.
Sky Advanced Materials is known for its tow-spreading technology that enables 50K industrial fibers to be used in lightweight multiaxial reinforcements with axis aerial weights as low as 75 grams/square meter.
Matrix is a specialist in multiaxial reinforcements, with decades of experience in both carbon and glass fiber. The Sky range will be offered alongside its other core products, Sicomin epoxies and ArmaPET core.
“The Matrix team has a deep technical understanding of multiaxial carbons,” says Kamal Al-Rawi, managing director of Sky. “Combined with their established customer relationships, we believe that they are the right partners to strengthen our position in the extensive U.K. composites market.”
