TAFFETA GLASS FABRIC

Taffeta glass fabrics are woven 0°/ 90°.

They are dimensionally stable. Light weights (under 50g/m²) are used as a surface veil in the first coat, either directly on the part or behind a Gel-Coat.

They are generally more difficult to drape than twill fabrics and are therefore mainly intended for flat or less complex surfaces. These fabrics are used for hand lay-up, infusion and RTM applications.

25 and 48 gr/m² fabrics are regularly used in model making.

Application example

• Boat building
• Aircraft construction
• Boards, surfboards, kites, …
• Model making
• Production of composite parts, molds
• The repair

Theoretical consumption :

1.5 x grammage/m² (example: 1 m² fabric 162 gr/m² = 243 gr/m² resin per layer)
