UD Glass Fabric 400 g/m2
- Low resin absorption
- Easy lamination
- Very high tensile strength
UD glass fabric 400 g/m2 is a unidirectional high quality glass fibre fabric which is used for building boats, surfboards, longboards, skis and similar applications. The laminated thickness of this glass fabric is 0.4 mm and consumption is about 320 grams per square metre.
What is unidirectional glass fabric?
UD glass fabric consists of a layer of unidirectional glass fibre, that is connected in the width direction by a small amount of glass fibres and stitching threads. This creates an easy-to-process UD glass fabric of large widths. The advantage of this type of glass fabric is that it can be used to create a lightweight yet rigid construction. Resin absorption is minimised because the fibres lie close together.
UD glass fabric provides high bending and tensile strength.
