Hexcel HiMax Fiberglass E-Glass Fabric Biaxial +45°/-45° 11.8oz/400gsm

Hexcel HiMax Fiberglass E-Glass Fabric Biaxial +45°/-45°; 11.8oz/400gsm – 50"/127cm

Our Hexcel HiMax E-Glass Biaxial Fabric is a high-performance stitched reinforcement designed for structural composite laminates requiring excellent shear strength, stiffness, and impact resistance. Using a balanced +45°/-45° fiber orientation in a non-crimp construction, it offers efficient load transfer, reliable wet-out, and easy handling for both professional and advanced DIY applications.

Key Features

• Fiber: High-quality E-Glass fibers for strong, durable laminates.
• Orientation: +45°/-45° biaxial stitched fabric optimized for shear and torsional performance.
• Construction: Non-crimp; fibers remain straight to improve mechanical properties and resin efficiency.
• Weight: 11.8oz (400gsm) for robust structural applications.
• Standard Width: 50" (127cm) for efficient coverage and fewer seams.
• Compatibility: Suitable for epoxy, vinyl ester, and polyester resin systems.
• Quality: Produced by Hexcel HiMax for consistent, professional-grade performance.

Typical Applications

• Marine hulls, decks, bulkheads, stringers, and structural panels
• Automotive and motorsports bodywork, tubs, and reinforcement layers
• Wind energy, structural beams, and load-bearing composite components
• Sporting goods, boards, paddles, and performance equipment
• General industrial and architectural laminates requiring high shear and impact resistance

Processing Guidelines

• Works well with hand lay-up, vacuum bagging, resin infusion, and RTM processes.
• Ensure complete wet-out of stitched bundles to achieve full mechanical properties.
• Align the +45°/-45° fibers with expected load paths for optimal performance.
• Use compatible resin systems and follow recommended cure schedules.

Ordering

• Width: 50" (127cm)
• Sold by: Linear Yard — 1 yard = 36" length x full width
• Continous Lengths: Multiple yards are supplied in one continuous length whenever possible.

We sell this fabric by the linear yard. You will receive a continuous piece of fabric at the width listed.

For example, if the fabric is 50" wide, a quantity of 1 (linear yard) equals a continuous piece measuring 50" wide × 36" long. A quantity of 5 (linear yards) equals a continuous piece measuring 50" wide × 180" long.
