Description
Innegra® S Plain Weave 625 Denier • 2.0 oz/68 gsm • 36″ Width
Achieve durable, ultra-light laminates with Innegra® S Plain Weave. This 625-denier, 2.0 oz (≈68 gsm) fabric uses high-modulus polypropylene (HMPP) fibers that deliver outstanding impact resistance, energy absorption, vibration damping, and buoyancy at a fraction of the weight of traditional reinforcements. The plain-weave construction drapes easily, wets out cleanly, and is ideal as a toughening ply in hybrid laminates with carbon or glass—or as a stand-alone reinforcement where durability and feel matter.
Key Features
- Very light areal weight: 2.0 oz/yd² (≈68 gsm) for minimal mass and added buoyancy.
- Superior impact tolerance: High energy absorption improves damage resistance in composite skins.
- Vibration damping: Reduces buzz/harshness in sporting goods and vehicle panels.
- Hybrid-ready: Excellent with carbon, glass, and aramid to boost toughness without a weight penalty.
- Hydrophobic & chemical resistant: Low water uptake; stable in a wide range of environments.
- Resin compatibility: Works with epoxy, vinyl ester, and polyester systems.
Typical Applications
- Surf/SUP boards, paddle blades, canoe/kayak skins, and other marine interiors.
- Bike, board, racket, stick and paddle sports where durability, feel and weight matter.
- Automotive/powersports cosmetic skins backed by a toughening interlayer.
- Leisure & industrial components requiring light weight, buoyancy and impact tolerance.

Processing Notes
- Use as an outer ply for a soft white aesthetic, or as an interlaminate toughening layer beneath cosmetic carbon.
- Consolidate thoroughly (vacuum bagging or infusion recommended) to minimize print-through and maximize wet-out.
- Seal UV-exposed laminates with a UV-stable clear coat or paint system.
- When hybridizing, alternate orientations with carbon/glass to balance stiffness and impact performance.
