UD Glass Fibre Tape 380 g/m² (25 mm)

Wide UD glass fibre tape (380 gr/m²) is specifically developed for the local reinforcement and stiffening of structures. This unidirectional glass fibre tape is ideally suited for small repairs, corner reinforcements, and for wrapping pipes, profiles and frames. Because virtually all glass fibres are oriented in a single direction (along the length of the tape), this material provides maximum tensile and bending strength in that direction.

Unlike traditional woven glass fibre tapes, in which the fibres run in multiple directions, UD glass fibre tape is ideal for applications where the load is primarily in one direction. This allows high stiffness and strength to be achieved with relatively little material. The result is a lightweight, strong and efficient laminate.

The glass fibre tape is 25 cm wide, easy to process, and combines excellently with epoxy resin, vinyl ester resin and polyester resin.

Applications of Unidirectional 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.
• Corner reinforcements and edge finishing.
• Wrapping and reinforcing pipes, frames and profiles.
• Reinforcement of wooden structures and composite components.
