Fiberglass DBM 1808 Knytex Biaxial +/- 90 Degree Fabric 18oz/610gsm

Fiberglass DBM 1808 Knytex Biaxial 0°/90° with Mat – 18oz/610gsm – 50"/127cm

Knytex DBM 1808 is a stitched biaxial fiberglass reinforcement oriented at 0°/90° for fast laminate build-up and high multi-directional strength. A light fiberglass mat is bonded to the backside to increase thickness, print-through resistance, and interlaminar shear. The non-crimp construction keeps fibers straight for efficient load transfer, excellent wet-out, and consistent handling in both production and repair environments.

Key Features

• Fiber: E-Glass stitched biaxial (0°/90°) with bonded fiberglass mat (DBM construction).
• Basis Weight: 18oz (610gsm) primary fabric with light mat backing for added bulk and bonding.
• Thickness: ~0.048" for rapid laminate thickness build and improved print control.
• Standard Width: 50" (127cm) for efficient coverage and reduced seams.
• Non-Crimp: Stitched (not woven) fibers remain as straight as possible for improved mechanical properties.
• Resin Compatibility: Compatible with polyester, vinyl ester, and epoxy resin systems.
• Made by: Knytex (USA) for reliable, professional-grade consistency.

Typical Applications

• Marine: hulls, decks, bulkheads, transoms, stringers, and general structural panels
• Automotive & powersports: bodywork, tubs, reinforcements, and repairs
• Industrial & architectural laminates requiring quick thickness build and robust strength
• Tooling back-up layers and repair laminates where print control is helpful

Processing Guidelines

• Suitable for hand lay-up, vacuum bagging, and resin infusion/RTM.
• Ensure thorough wet-out of stitched bundles and mat to achieve full bond strength.
• Orient 0°/90° fibers with primary load paths for optimal stiffness and stability.
• Follow resin manufacturer cure schedules; roll out air to minimize voids.

Ordering

• Width: 50" (127cm)
