ZERO is a patent-pending material that is non-woven and has a relatively small percentage of binder material (less than 3%). The binder is applied to only one side of the fabric resulting in virtually no crimp in the reinforcement fibers. ZERO is highly efficient and very affordable. Current offerings of ZERO are made with standard modulus carbon and intermediate modulus carbon. Recently, the intermediate modulus fabrics were qualified for aerospace applications on Lockheed Martin's F-22 program. ZERO was tested against a baseline of unidirectional prepreg and dry fabric lay-up. In all areas, including compression, ZERO outperformed the baseline. A&P's unidirectional carbon will be used throughout the airframe replacing other dry unidirectional fabrics and/or prepreg. Furthermore, because of the strong interest in ZERO within the marine industry, a joint testing program is currently underway with Toray Carbon Fibers, America to provide mechanical data for the composite engineer/molder. Material property test data will be available Spring, 2003. Material property test data is available.
