High Performance Fiberglass Fabric Sheets Chemical Resistant High Strength

​​Glass Fiber Axial Fabrics | High-Performance Composite Reinforcement​​

​​1. Product Introduction​​

Glass Fiber Axial Fabrics are specialized composite reinforcement materials engineered with unidirectional or multi-axial fiber alignment to deliver exceptional strength, durability, and design flexibility. These fabrics are critical in applications requiring high tensile strength, thermal stability, and lightweight solutions. Key features include:

• ​​Unidirectional/Multi-Axial Alignment​​: Fibers oriented in 0°, ±45°, or 90° directions for optimized directional strength

  .

• ​​High Tensile Strength​​: Ranges from ​​3,000–5,000 MPa​​, outperforming traditional woven fabrics in primary stress directions

  .

• ​​Lightweight​​: Density as low as ​​1.5–2.0 g/cm³​​, ideal for aerospace and automotive industries

  .

• ​​Thermal Resistance​​: Withstands temperatures up to ​​600°C​​ without significant degradation

  .

• ​​Chemical Stability​​: Resists acids, alkalis, and solvents, ensuring durability in harsh environments

  .

​​2. Manufacturing Process​​

1. ​​Fiber Preparation​​:

   • E-glass or S-glass filaments (6–25 µm diameter) are drawn from molten glass at ​​1,500–1,600°C

     .

2. ​​Fiber Alignment​​:

   • Filaments are aligned unidirectionally or in multi-axial patterns (0°, ±45°, 90°) using automated spreading machines

3. ​​Stitch Bonding​​:

   • Layers are stitched together with polyester or nylon threads to maintain fiber integrity and prevent displacement

     .

4. ​​Surface Treatment​​:

   • Coated with sizing agents (e.g., silane) to enhance resin adhesion and UV resistance

     .

5. ​​Quality Control​​:

   • ISO 9001-certified testing for tensile strength, fiber orientation accuracy, and thickness uniformity

     .

​​3. Usage Precautions​​

• ​​Handling​​:

  • Wear ​​PPE (gloves, goggles)​​ to avoid fiber irritation; use sharp tools cautiously to prevent breakage

    .

• ​​Resin Compatibility​​:

  • Match fabric type (e.g., E-glass for general use, S-glass for high-strength) with epoxy, polyester, or vinyl ester resins

    .

• ​​Curing Conditions​​:

  • Maintain ​​120–150°C​​ and ​​0.5–1.0 MPa pressure​​ during curing to eliminate voids

    .

• ​​Storage​​:

  • Store in dry, ventilated areas (humidity <60%); avoid prolonged UV exposure to prevent coating degradation

    .
