Description
Hexcel HexForce Fiberglass E-Glass Plain Weave 2.1oz/71gsm – Style 112 CS550 Finish
Hexcel HexForce Style 112 is an ultra-light E-glass plain weave fiberglass cloth engineered for high-performance composite applications where low weight, clarity, and surface quality are critical. At approximately 2.1oz (71gsm), this fabric is ideal as a top ply over heavier reinforcements, as a protective veil, or anywhere you need a clean, professional laminate surface.
Produced by Hexcel, a global leader in composite reinforcement, Style 112 features a CS550 finish designed for excellent adhesion with common thermoset resin systems. The tightly controlled weave lays down smoothly, wets out easily, and delivers consistent results for both hand layup and vacuum-assisted processes.
