Unidirectional Fiberglass Laminate

Uni weft glass is a continuous unidirectional e fiberglass laminate with 90 degree fiberglass inlay.

Unidirectional fiberglass laminate. This diagram above illustrates how we recommend laminating a repair after the damaged fiberglass has been removed. Acp composites fiberglass unidirectional fiber fabric is fray resistant woven with s glass and ideal for high strength lightweight precise applications. Wet out quickly for excellent resin reinforcement ratio. Fiberglass is laid into a mold that will create the boat s hull.

A resin in liquid form is catalyzed and applied to the fiberglass in mold. The curved laminate failed unstably by delaminations developing around the curved region of the laminate at different depths through the thickness until virtually all bending stiffness was lost. A unidirectional ud fabric is one in which the majority of fibres run in one direction only. Fiberglass repair tips a typical fiberglass repair in cross section.

This combination not only gives high strength and stiffness along the longitudinal 0 axis but also provides cross strength and stiffness 90 degrees to the longitudinal axis. A small amount of fibre or other material may run in other directions with the main intention being to hold the primary fibres in position although the other fibres may also offer some structural properties. Unidirectional fabrics hexcel s unidirectional reinforcements are nonwoven carbon fabrics that have 99 of the areal weight in the 0 direction and are stabilized by a thin proprietary warp thread. Uls bo tuff e glass is a continuous unidirectional e fiberglass laminate combined with a 50 50 woven fiberglass inlay scrim that has high strength and stiffness along the longitudinal 0 axis and provides cross strength 90 degrees to the longitudinal axis.

It is critical that the scarf angle is set at a minimum ratio of 12 1 and that the patch thickness matches the original laminate. Delamination was assumed to initiate at the location of the highest radial stress in the curved region. Multiple layers and various techniques are involved but your end result is the boat. Approximate roll length.

X 50 e glass 0 degree unidirectional roll. Knitted warp unidirectional 0 deg fabrics use for laminate where strength and stiffness in specific direction or plain is required.
