DESCRIPTION OF
AXIALS

Biaxial is 2 layers,
Triaxial is 3 and
Quadaxial is 4. The
different layers will run
in different directions
according to a certain
specification. 0
degrees means one
layer is running
longitudinal (length
wise or warp direction).
+45 and -45 means that
there are 2 layers
running off 45 degrees
on each side of the
warp direction. 90
degrees means that
there is a layer running
at 90 degrees
(horizontal, weft or fill
direction) to the warp
direction.

Here are some
examples: +45 degrees
and -45 degrees biaxial
is a common biaxial
looking like this in the
warp a ...x... in the warp
direction. 0 degrees
and 90 degrees would
be like a cross hair (+)
if viewed in the warp
direction.

+45 degrees, 0 degrees
and -45 degrees would
be a triaxial like the
previous biaxial except
the third layer is
running 0 degrees or 100
% in the length
direction. Triaxials can
also have the third
layer running in the
weft or 90 degree
direction.

A quadaxial would have
4 layers -45, + 45, 0 and
90 degrees. Quadaxials
are selected for the
greatest stiffness and
nearly equal strength in
all directions.

DESCRIPTION OF MAT
TERMS

Some axials come with
a layer of chopped
mat. This is an extra
layer that is either
stitched or stuck on to
one face. Mat
terminology can be
confusing because it
can be specified in
ounces per sq. foot or
ounces per sq. yard.

Example: 1708 is a
very common biaxial.
17 is the weight in
ounces of the 2 layers
of glass and the 08
means a third layer of
mat at 8 ounces per
sq. yard to give you a
total weight of 25
ounces per sq. yard.

1710 would have 10
ounces of mat and
1715 would have 15
ounces. Note that
many manufacturers
round off the weights
and 1708 may be the
same as 1808 and the
08 may be closer to 7
ounces.

Tight weave (T)

and strength is in the
cross/weft/or fill
direction where you
need it most. This
tape is very smooth
and thin and is
stronger than normal

direction. Excellent
for draping around
sharp corners but
more care must be
taken to wet out.

 

Sliced from a wide
roll. Will have
loose, no hard,
salvage edge.

Stitched Non-Woven Biaxial and Triaxial

The axial fabrics listed below are different than woven
fabrics in that the layers are layed flat on top of each
other and lightly stitched together. Woven fabrics have
the strands of glass going over and under like a
normal piece of cloth.
The axials are generally stronger and stiffer than woven
products for any given weight and usually offer the best
value. They are compatible for both polyester and epoxy
resins .
