Fiberglass Woven Roving Plain Weave is a heavy-duty reinforcement fabric designed for applications requiring rapid thickness build-up and high strength. With a Weight(g/m²): 224 and Thickness(mm): 0.22, this material is composed of continuous glass fiber filaments woven into a plain weave pattern, offering excellent mechanical properties and ease of resin saturation. It is an economical choice for laminating large, flat areas where strength and durability are critical.

Applications:

• Marine Industry: Commonly used in boat hulls, decks, and other structural components due to its strength and ability to withstand harsh environments.

• Industrial Composites: Suitable for fabricating large, flat surfaces such as tanks, panels, and automotive parts.

• Repairs and Reinforcement: Ideal for repairing or reinforcing damaged structures, providing a durable and long-lasting solution.

Handling and Usage:

• Combination with Chopped Strand Mat (CSM): When bonding to plywood or making repairs, Fiberglass Woven Roving Plain Weave is often used with CSM to improve adhesion and reduce resin consumption. Note that CSM is only compatible with polyester or vinyl ester resins, not epoxy.

• Finer Fabric for Surface Finish: A finer fabric may be required to achieve a smooth surface finish, as the coarse texture of woven roving can leave a rough print.

• Fiber Orientation: For optimal strength, the fabric should be oriented so that the fiber yarns run parallel to the expected loads. If additional strength is needed in other directions, additional plies can be added at angles such as +/- 45 degrees.
