A&P Technology is the exclusive manufacturer of Sharx™ brand braided reinforcement.
Sharx™ braided biaxial sleevings are chosen by manufacturers of composite propellers, prosthetics, aircraft ducts and softball bats, to name only a few, for their ease of manufacture and overall performance. Sharx™ easily and repeatedly conforms to parts with changing cross-sections and since all the fibers within a braided sleeving are continuous and mechanically locked, braid has a natural mechanism that evenly distributes load throughout the structure. This means that braid is the stronger, tougher, more fatigue-resistant, more flexible alternative to woven composites.
