TOW

• TOW is a term used mostly for carbon fiber, meaning an untwisted bundle of continuous filaments.
• TOW are groups (bundles) of carbon fiber filaments grouped together (3K TOW) means 3000 Filaments grouped together, 12K TOW is 12,000 filaments grouped together.
• Each TOW group is then woven (interlaced / weaved) to form a fabric.
• The higher the TOW the thicker the fabric will be.
