Triaxial (0°/90°, +45°, -45°)
This three (3) layer fabric has fibreglass roving laid down parallel in the – 45°, + 45° and 0° or 90° axis. The 0° or 90° axis generally contains approximately 30 % of the fibre content, but is also available with 50 % of fibre content in this direction. Lightweight stitching holds these fibres together and parallel in each layer. This stitching is non-structural.
This fabric gives the builder the ability to control the amount of fibre concentration in the areas requiring it. The 0° or 90° fibres add strength across the hull with the 45° fibres adding additional cross bracing and torsional stability.
Also available in weft direction Triaxial and with 225 g/m² chopped strand mat (CSM) stitched to the top side of the fabric for additional inter-laminar bonding requirements.
