ImageSpectraCarb may be particularly beneficial when used on the inner layer of two-stage laminations. The unique properties of this material allow for superb strength, while maintaining some flexibility.

Rigidity can be attained in appropriate areas by using strips of carbon tape for reinforcement. These same properties make this material an ideal choice for use in orthotic laminations!
