Product description
Twill fabric is a twill-woven glass fabric that is particularly suitable for laminating round shapes. Twill fabric is comparable to square glass fabric (200 gr/m2), but is woven in a different way (2x2 twill). As with square glass fabric, twill fabric 160 g/m2 absorbs little resin, so you create a strong and lightweight construction. This fabric has a weight of 160 gr/m2 and is 100 cm wide.
Twill fabric is very suitable to use in combination with polyester resin, vinylester resin and epoxy resin.
Features of Twill fabric 160 gr/m2
- Pliable fabric, making it very suitable for laminating round shapes.
- Suitable for processing with polyester, vinylester or epoxy.
- Available in 160 gr/m2 and 280 gr/m2.
What is the difference between twill fabric (twill weave) and plain square weave? Twill weave is woven differently than square weave. Thanks to this weaving technique, twill weave is more pliable, making it ideal to use on round and complex shapes.
Applications
Twill fabric 160 g/m2 is a lightweight fabric used for structural constructions and cladding. The fine yarns are virtually invisible in epoxy resin, allowing transparent upholstering to be made. Unlike square glass fabric, twill fabric is very pliable. This makes this type of fabric very suitable for reinforcing fabric for (round) shapes.
For instructions on use, check out the technical documentation. We also supply twill fabric in 280 gr/m2.

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).

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.
