Ultra Fused Tapes

Shapers Ultra Fused Carbon is a product of using the highest grade carbon tow together with a engineered high strength webbing system, that is designed for bonding and increasing the interlaminar strength between foam and composites. The high strength web backing goes completely transparent when wet out with resin and is compatible with polyester and epoxy resins. The major benefit we were seeking with Shapers Ultra Fused Carbon was to create a product that could be laminated completely flat in prominent areas such as centre strips down the surfboard, increase tensile strength and not add weight. In other words, Shapers Fused Carbon does not leave a raised edge as some woven tapes and prevents resin build up, sand through and raised lumps in resin work created by some woven products.

Shapers Ultra Fused Innegra, developed by Shapers Composites Co., is a revolutionary product known for its minimal resin absorption, highest strength-to-weight ratio, and flat carbon reinforcement. It is the lightest carbon option available, allowing for easy customization and cutting, without the fraying seen in traditional woven fabrics. The material lies flat, thinner than A4 paper, and avoids the extra weight or thickness associated with conventional woven tapes. This makes Shapers Ultra Fused Innegra an exceptional choice for those seeking high-performance and customizable solutions in composite applications.
