Hexcel HexForce Fiberglass E-Glass Plain Weave 3.11oz/105gsm – Style 116 CS550 Finish
This Hexcel HexForce Style 116 fiberglass cloth is a high-quality E-glass plain weave fabric designed for applications that demand a smooth finish, consistent performance, and low weight. At approximately 3.11oz (105gsm), it is an excellent choice for surface skins, cosmetic layers, and lightweight structural laminates.
Manufactured by Hexcel, a global leader in composite reinforcements, this cloth features a CS550 finish engineered for reliable bonding with common thermoset resin systems. The woven construction lays down cleaner and produces far less loose strand mess than chopped strand mat, improving handling and helping you achieve precise, professional results.
