Hexcel HiMax Fiberglass E-Glass Fabric Biaxial +45°/-45° 17.7oz/600gsm

Hexcel HiMax Fiberglass E-Glass Fabric Biaxial +45°/-45° 17.7oz/600gsm – 50"/127cm

Hexcel HiMax +45°/-45° Biaxial Fiberglass is a non-crimp E-glass reinforcement engineered for demanding structural laminates. With an areal weight of approximately 17.7oz (≈600gsm), this fabric provides exceptional in-plane shear strength, impact resistance, and torsional stiffness, making it an excellent choice for primary load-bearing composite structures.

The stitched biaxial construction keeps fibers straight rather than woven, significantly reducing crimp and delivering improved mechanical performance versus traditional woven cloth. The balanced +45°/-45° orientation is ideal for applications requiring superior off-axis reinforcement while still offering good drape and handling for large or complex molds.

Produced by Hexcel, a world leader in advanced composite materials, this HiMax biaxial fabric delivers consistent, professional-grade quality suitable for marine, automotive, industrial and wind energy components.
