Discover the Versatility of Woven Fiber Reinforcements: Glass, Carbon, Aramid, and Hybrids

Woven Fiber Reinforcements come in various types, including glass, carbon, aramid, and hybrid fabrics that combine different fiber types. These fabrics are made by interweaving continuous filaments of rovings and offer a wide range of properties and application areas, depending on factors like the basis weight, number of filaments, and weave.

The weave of these fabrics can be canvas, twill weave, or atlas binding, which determines their properties. Atlas binding, where four to seven warp threads are crossed, results in a highly flexible fabric ideal for complex shapes with low shifting strength.

Twill weave binding skips two or three warp threads, resulting in a higher push resistance but slightly lower drapability, making it easier to handle and suitable for complicated geometries

Canvas binding, with a 1:1 ratio of weft to warp, results in a high sliding resistance and low flexibility, making it ideal for flat laminates.

Glass woven fabrics offer excellent mechanical properties and are highly versatile, available in various combinations of basis weights and weaves. Carbon woven fabrics have very small thermal expansion and very good fatigue resistance, available in weights from 55 to 1000 g/m2 and roving sizes from 1K to 50K.

Aramid woven fabrics, on the other hand, are 43% lighter than glass fiber fabric but twice as stiff as glass fibers, with excellent dimensional stability, slightly negative thermal expansion, excellent thermal properties, high chemical resistance, and numerous combinations of basis weights and weaves.
