Polymer

A carbon based material which is built up from a series of smaller units (monomers). The choice of the monomers and the final molecular weight (i.e. size) of the polymer govern the mechanical and physical properties of the resultant polymer.

Fiber

Yarns or tows consisting of several approximately parallel individual filaments, each filament usually being smaller in diameter than a monofilament.

Tolerances
Fibre diameter:   ±25%  
Number of strands:   ±10%  
Tex number:   ±10%  
Length:   +5% / -1%
