Types of composites

Fibers woven in two directions. Compare weight and flexibility to suit the shape of your part.

Resin: confirm compatibility and fiber sizing.

Chopped fibers held together with a binder. Used in certain laminate and mold constructions.

Epoxy: check the binder. Some require styrene to dissolve.

Woven rovings for reinforcement. Their texture and conformability differ from finer cloth.

Select weight and orientation according to the laminate design.

Two reinforcements in one construction. Confirm which layers it contains and how they are joined.

Resin: check the compatibility of all layers and their binders.

Reinforcement with fibers oriented at ±45° to the roll.

The sequence and orientation must follow the part design. Confirm whether mat is included.

Longitudinal and transverse fibers. Not an automatic substitute for ±45° biaxial reinforcement.

Check weight, construction and system compatibility.

Fabric removed after curing. Not the same as release film.

Confirm suitability for the system and the next operation. Product availability to be confirmed.

Lightweight material for surface layers in certain laminates.

Confirm fiber type, binder and resin. Product availability to be confirmed.
