Glass fibre fabric 200 g/m2 is the most commonly used type of glass fibre fabric and offers high tensile strength. Due to the structure of the universal fabric, this type of glass fibre fabric has a higher tensile strength compared to glass fibre mats (CSM). In addition, glass tissue absorbs significantly less resin. This results in a light and solid construction.
The resin absorption is about one and a half times the total weight. So with glass fibre fabric 200 gr/m2 you need around 300 grams of resin per square metre. The square fabric is excellent for use with both polyester resin, vinylester resin and epoxy resin. Use a velor roller to apply the resin to the glass fibre fabric.
Glass fibre fabric 200 grams is often used for cladding wooden objects, such as plywood. In addition, you can also use this type of fabric for waterproofing wet rooms. Due to the way the fabric is woven, glass fabric is particularly suitable for straight surfaces. As a result, the square weave does not crease and can be tightly laminated.

The key technical properties clearly listed in one place.
The materials, substrates or tasks a product is intended for. A general claim such as 'suitable for plastics' does not mean it works with every type of plastic; the specific substrate and its preparation still matter.
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.
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).
The technical product category, such as primer, resin, hardener or cleaner. It explains the product's purpose and helps you find other products with a similar function.
The measurement across a product from one side to the other, for example for rolls, panels or fabrics. With rolled materials, the usable width may differ from the overall width.
The parts and accessories supplied as standard, such as a complete set of components, separate accessories or a machine with attachments. Product photographs may also show items that are not included.
Areal weight is the weight of one square metre of dry reinforcement, expressed in g/m² (grams per square metre). For example, 200 g/m² glass fabric contains 200 grams of dry fibres per m², without resin. Areal weight helps with reinforcement selection and resin consumption estimates, but it is not the final laminate thickness.
Read the warnings and use appropriate protective equipment before handling the product.
