Glass fabric 160 g/m² (twill weave), width 100 cm

USA: width 39.37", weight 4.8 oz/yd²

Fine glass fiber fabric in twill weave with excellent drapability – ideal for high-quality hand laminates and transparent composite parts.

This 160 g/m² glass fabric features a twill weave, providing superior drapability compared to plain weave fabrics. It conforms easily to curved and complex shapes, making it well suited for a wide range of composite applications. The modified silane finish ensures excellent compatibility with epoxy and polyester resin systems.

Key Features & Benefits

• Areal weight: 160 g/m² (approx. 4.8 oz/yd²)
• Weave: Twill – very good drapability
• Width: 100 cm
• Yarn: EC 9-66 (warp & weft)
• Thread count:
  • Warp: 12.0 threads/cm
  • Weft: 11.5 threads/cm
• Finish: Modified silane
• Appearance: Good transparency after impregnation
• Processing: Excellent wet-out and uniform resin distribution

Typical Applications

• Model making and mould construction
• Sports and leisure components
• Surface and cover plies for visible laminates
• General composite applications with moderate mechanical requirements

Laminate Data (Hand Lay-Up, approx. 35% fiber volume content)

• Resin consumption: approx. 125 g/m²
• Laminate thickness: approx. 0.179 mm
• Laminate weight: approx. 285 g/m²

These values provide practical reference data and may vary depending on resin system, processing method, and fiber volume fraction.

Processing Notes

This glass fabric is well suited for hand lay-up, vacuum bagging, and light infusion processes. The twill weave allows easy handling and wrinkle-free draping, even on complex geometries.
