Quadraxial fiberglass consists of 4 non-woven layers at + and – 45 and 0/90 degree fibre angles. Polyester yarn and mat backing are used to knit the cloth.
The fabric provides excellent longitudinal, transverse, and shear strength, while providing a good amount of build-up per sheet. This will result in added strength with less layers of fiberglass needed. The weave is retained by a thin polyester stitching which holds the 0, 90, +/-45 degree fiberglass tows into place without affecting structural integrity. The cloth impregnates easily and is excellent for medium to large size glassing jobs. Experience fantastic results when used during wet lay-up, vacuum bagging, or infusion. 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.
Features flat, crimped fibres, and also lends higher stiffness compared to woven.
Suitable for any type of thermosetting resin like polyester, urethane-acrylate, vinyl ester or epoxy.
