LIGHTNING STRIKE FABRICS<br />
<strong>Hexcel</strong> has carbon fabrics with interwoven wires for<br />
lightning strike applications where both structural<br />
integrity and lightning protection are required in a single<br />
ply. Standard plain weave designs are available (IWWF)<br />
where the wire is woven inside the weave next to an<br />
adjacent carbon tow, as well as the more elaborate<br />
pattern designs like our patent pending “double weave”,<br />
where the woven wire is 92 percent on the surface of the<br />
carbon weave.<br />
