Spread tow brand TeXtreme (Borås, Sweden) is releasing new versions of its fabric in multiple colors, in collaboration with Hypetex (London, U.K.), creator of the world’s first colored carbon brand.
The colors and coloring technique have been developed to give the spread tow greater depth and clarity without losing any of the composite performance. TeXtreme says the stability and high quality of its fabrics have been retained throughout the coloring process.
