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.
Unidirectional glass fabric is also available in a heavier version: UD Glass Fabric 640 gr/m2 (layer thickness: 0.72 mm).

Fabric or reinforcement type describes how the fibres are arranged. This affects how easily the material drapes over a shape and which directions it mainly reinforces.
- Plain weave (square weave): the yarns pass alternately over and under each other. The fabric is stable and works well on flat or gently curved surfaces.
- Twill weave: recognisable by its diagonal pattern. It is more flexible than plain weave and drapes more easily over curves.
- Unidirectional reinforcement (UD): the fibres run mainly in one direction, usually marked 0°. It provides reinforcement primarily along that direction.
- Multiaxial reinforcement: fibres are arranged in several directions, for example biaxial (+45°/-45°), Square (0°/90°) or triaxial (0°/+45°/-45°). Fibre bundles are normally held together by stitching rather than a conventional weave.
Note: a Square reinforcement (0°/90°) is not the same as a plain-woven square fabric. Also consider fibre type and areal weight (g/m²).
