Along with plain weave and 2×2 twill weave, the 8 harness satin is one of the most widely used weave style used in the composites industry due to its ease of use and weave style’s structural integrity.
The 8 harness satin fibreglass fabric is one of the easiest fabrics to use and it is ideal for laying up toolings that are curve, contoured and sharp angled. It is also well suited for obliqued and obtuse angles (angles more than 90° but less than 180°), high definition surfaces and for flat surface that requires minimal fabric weave print through.
Note the pliability of the fabric as it is used as a 90° angle corner with excellent conformity and fabric drape.
