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 />
