Quadriaxial glass fabric of 1200 g/m2 built of four layers of unidirectional fabric oriented at 0°, +45, 90° and -45º respectively. Extensively used for han lay-up, injection or infusion and RTM . Suitable for any type of thermosetting resin like polyester, urethane-acrylate, vinyl ester or epoxy. Widely used for processes where a very good mechanical strength combined with aesthetic quality finishes are required. "Print through" effect is avoided when placing these fabrics not too close on the gel coat.
Stitched Glass Fabrics, also named Non-Crimp Fabrics, are ideally suited for selective reinforcement. Fibreglass is bundled and stitched together, rather than woven, so there is no crimp in the yarn. As a result, these reinforcements offer optimized directional strength for their finished composite parts, showing no distortion of the yarns. For this reason, they are popular in the marine, building & construction, rail and wind energy industries.
These fabrics are ideal mainly for hand lay-up and the infusion process, where fast wet-out and strength control are essential.
They are compatible with polyester (Crystic), urethane-acrylate (Crestapol), vinyl ester (Crystic), and epoxy resins (Resoltech & Castropox).
