Product description
Glass fibre tape is a narrow, tightly woven glass fibre fabric that is highly suitable for local repairs and reinforcement. This version is 5 cm wide and can be used with epoxy resin, polyester resin and vinylester resin.
After lamination, the layer thickness is approximately 0.35 mm, with an average resin consumption of around 14 grams per linear metre. Thanks to its stable weave, the glass fibre tape can be laminated smoothly onto flat surfaces without wrinkling. This helps achieve a neat, even finish, particularly when used with epoxy resin.
Due to its narrow width, this glass fibre tape is also ideal for finishing and reinforcing corners, seams and edges.
Applications of glass fibre tape
Glass fibre tape is suitable for applications including:
- Small repairs and local reinforcement.
- Corner and edge reinforcement.
- Wrapping pipes, frames and profiles.

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).

Resin consumption indicates how much resin is required to properly wet out a reinforcement material. It may be stated in g/m² (grams per square metre), g/m for narrow fabric tapes or as resin quantity relative to dry fibre weight. Actual use depends on fibre type, areal weight and laminating method.
- Approximately 28 g/m (273 g/m²; hand lay-up)
-
Hand lay-up laminate thickness is the estimated thickness of one reinforcement layer after it has been impregnated with resin and consolidated with a roller. It is usually expressed in millimetres (mm). More layers produce a thicker laminate, but the final thickness also depends on fibre weight, resin uptake and consolidation.
- 0.35 mm
-
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.
