Description
This high-strength, multi-directional reinforcement is designed for composite applications requiring exceptional stability and balanced mechanical performance. It consists of three layers of unidirectional fiberglass stitched together at 0°, +45°, and –45°, providing uniform strength across all primary load directions. This makes it significantly stronger and more dimensionally stable than traditional woven cloths. The stitched construction minimizes crimp, enhancing fiber alignment and increasing tensile, compressive, and impact resistance.
The fabric's stable yet flexible structure allows it to drape efficiently over curved or contoured surfaces, reducing distortion during lay-up and enabling clean, consistent laminates. It is compatible with polyester, vinyl ester, and epoxy resins, wets out quickly, and supports both hand lay-up and resin infusion techniques. Commonly used in marine construction, automotive fabrication, mold making, structural panels, and repairs requiring high stiffness and controlled fiber orientation, this fabric delivers excellent performance while optimizing strength-to-weight ratios. Its combination of durability, balance, and processing ease makes it an essential reinforcement for demanding composite builds.
Instructions
Cut the fabric to the required shape before mixing resin. Place it onto a clean, prepared mold or surface, aligning the 0°, +45°, and –45° fiber directions according to the structural requirements.
- Mix polyester, vinyl ester, or epoxy resin following the manufacturer’s instructions.
- Apply resin evenly using a brush, roller, or infusion method until the fabric is fully saturated.
- Use a laminating roller to remove trapped air and ensure proper consolidation between layers.
- Add additional plies if higher strength is needed.
- Allow the laminate to cure fully before demolding, trimming, or finishing.
Wear appropriate PPE including gloves, eye protection, and a respirator when handling fiberglass materials.
