Unidirectional glass fibre tape (600 gr/m²) is specifically developed for the local reinforcement and stiffening of structures. This unidirectional glass fibre tape is ideally suited for small repairs, reinforcing corners and wrapping pipes, profiles and frames. As virtually all glass fibres run along the length of the tape, the tape provides high tensile strength and contributes to bending stiffness in that direction.
Unlike conventional woven glass fibre tapes, in which the fibres typically run in two directions, UD glass fibre tape is ideal for applications where the load is primarily in one direction. This allows high strength and stiffness to be achieved in the desired direction using relatively little material. The result is a lightweight, strong and efficient laminate.
The glass fibre tape is 25 mm wide, easy to work with and suitable for use with epoxy, vinyl ester and polyester resins.
Applications of UD glass fibre tape
UD glass fibre tape is widely used for:
- Applications requiring additional stiffness in one direction.
- Reinforcing skateboards, longboards and hockey sticks.
- Local reinforcements and repairs.
- Reinforcing corners and edges.
- Wrapping and reinforcing pipes, frames and profiles.
- Reinforcing wooden structures and composite components.

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 9 g/m (346 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.
- 0.58 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.
