US' Carbitex unveils first coloured flexible carbon fibre line
Carbitex, the leader in flexible carbon fiber composites, collaborates with Hypetex Coloured Advanced Materials to introduce a new generation of colored Carbitex materials, now available for production products.
Debuting with Carbitex OmniFlex carbon fiber textile technology, the lightweight and extremely durable material will be in a range of eight distinctive colors: Enzo Twill, Oak Twill, Malabar Twill, Bolt Twill, Spa Twill, Tendulkar Twill, Zidane Twill, and Titanium Twill. This collaboration represents the first time Carbitex technology will be available in colors beyond traditional black, opening new design opportunities across multiple industries, including cycling, travel and more.
Carbitex has partnered with Hypetex to launch coloured versions of its OmniFlex carbon fibre, marking the first time its flexible composites are available beyond black. Offered in eight vibrant shades, the material retains its signature zero-stretch, high-performance features. The coloured OmniFlex will debut in travel and lifestyle products in the upcoming season.
The colored OmniFlex maintains all the breakthrough performance characteristics that define this advanced technology: zero-stretch construction that delivers the power transfer of a rigid material while preserving the flexibility of a soft material. This creates an unmatched high-performance strength-to-weight ratio that, combined with Hypetex CAM's vibrant color engineering, provides designers and manufacturers with both superior performance and unprecedented aesthetic possibilities.
'While we've explored colorization in the past, our core expertise lies in engineering flexibility. By working with Hypetex CAM, we get the best in color while focusing on continuing to evolve our technology. The request for color is a regular occurrence, but we wanted to wait until we knew we had a solution that met our quality expectations—Hypetex does that,' says Junus Khan, founder and president of Carbitex . 'OmniFlex with Hypetex colored carbon is striking and beautiful. This collaboration will expand our material offerings into compelling new product ranges.'
The Hypetex colored OmniFlex materials are available now and will integrate into products in sport and lifestyle segments. The first products will debut in the travel and accessory categories in the coming season.
