These fabrics are made from S-glass, which is a high-strength and high-modulus glass fiber. It is superior to E-glass, which is the most common glass fiber, in terms of tensile strength, modulus, and temperature resistance. Multi-Axial S-glass fabrics have multiple layers of fibers oriented at different angles, which are stitched or bonded together. This multi-directional reinforcement provides enhanced strength and stiffness in various directions, making it ideal for applications requiring improved impact resistance and durability.
Usages:
• High-performance sporting goods (surfboards, hockey sticks, racing shells)
• Military and defense applications (ballistic armor, helmets)
• Aerospace components (aircraft structural parts, panels)
• Marine applications (boat hulls, masts where high strength and impact resistance are critical)
