Unleashing the Power
of Speciality Fabrics
Our speciality fabrics are engineered for high strength, heat resistance, and lightweight applications, NOMEX Honeycomb Cores are perfect for aerospace, automotive, and industrial uses.
Speciality Protection Fabrics
CAM began developing advanced speciality fabrics in the 1980s, and today the company supplies the composite industry with reliable lightning-strike reinforcement materials. Over the years, these speciality fabrics have become a trusted choice for business jets, commercial aircraft, and military platforms.
These fabrics use a woven hybrid structure that combines a strong reinforcement yarn, such as carbon fibre, with a metallic wire that delivers the required conductivity. This design creates a material that provides both structural strength and electrical performance. Because of this, the fabrics support demanding aerospace applications with consistency and efficiency.
In addition, each speciality fabric is simple to place into the surface ply of a composite layup. As a result, it acts as both a structural layer and a conductive surface layer, offering manufacturers a practical, lightweight, and effective solution for lightning-strike protection.
Bespoke Weave Carbon
- Custom-designed for weight and conductivity.
- Can be engineered to meet both structural and conductive requirements.
Structural yarns and conductive wires are interwoven as one fabric, for potential weight advantage. - Multiple yarn systems such as carbon, glass, and aramid.
Lightning Strike Protection
- Can be pre-preg using standard established equipment.
- Exceptional cutting and handleability during kitting or lay-up.
- Easy to mould than expanded metal.
- Easy to combine into the surface ply of a composite lay-up.
Superior surface finish.
