Typical Applications
- Marine hulls, decks, bulkheads, and structural panels
- Automotive and motorsports bodywork, tubs, aerodynamic components, and reinforcement layers
- Wind energy components, spars, and lightweight structural elements
- Sporting goods, boards, paddles, and performance composite equipment
- General industrial and architectural laminates where reduced weight and high shear strength are critical
Processing Guidelines
- Ideal for hand lay-up, vacuum bagging, resin infusion, and RTM processes.
- Ensure complete wet-out of stitched bundles to achieve full mechanical properties.
- Orient the +45°/-45° fibers along expected load paths for optimal performance.
- Use compatible resin systems and follow recommended cure schedules for best results.
Ordering
- Width: 50" (127cm)
- Sold by: Linear Yard — 1 yard = 36" length x full width

How We Sell
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.
