Hexcel HiMax Fiberglass E-Glass Fabric Biaxial +45°/-45° 8.85oz/300gsm

Hexcel HiMax Fiberglass E-Glass Fabric Biaxial +45°/-45° 8.85oz/300gsm – 50"/127cm

Hexcel HiMax Fiberglass E-Glass Biaxial +45°/-45° 8.85oz/300gsm is a high-performance stitched reinforcement designed for lightweight structural laminates requiring excellent shear strength, stability, and impact resistance. Featuring a balanced +45°/-45° fiber orientation in a non-crimp construction, this fabric provides efficient load transfer, easy drape, and consistent wet-out for professional composite manufacturers and advanced DIY builders.

Key Features

• Fiber: High-quality E-Glass fibers for dependable strength and durability.
• Orientation: +45°/-45° biaxial stitched construction optimized for shear and torsional performance.
• Construction: Non-crimp; fibers remain as straight as possible to improve mechanical properties and resin efficiency.
• Weight: 8.85oz (300gsm) for strong yet lightweight laminates.
• Standard Width: 50" (127cm) for efficient coverage and reduced seams.
• Resin Compatibility: Suitable for epoxy, vinyl ester, and polyester resin systems.
• Quality: Manufactured by Hexcel HiMax for consistent, professional-grade performance and reliable results.

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
• Continous Yardages: Multiple yards are supplied in one continuous length whenever possible.

Color Disclaimer: Due to individual monitor settings, lighting, and calibration, actual fabric color may vary from what is shown online.

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.
