product information

Quadriaxial Fabrics (o°/90°/±45°)

product description

OCV^TM Technical Fabrics Quadriaxial Fabrics are a stitch-bonded, non-crimp, composite reinforcement combining warp (0°), weft (90°), and double bias (±45°) plies into a single multiaxial fabric. By providing reinforcement in multiple directions, these highly engineered fabrics can reduce labor costs through faster fabrication. The concentration of fiber oriented in each direction can be varied for optimal laminate performance. The versatile fabric, made from high quality fibers, is available in a variety of widths and weights to meet your particular requirements. The input fibers are designed to give controlled wet-out and excellent laminate properties. Each fabric can be combined with a glass mat or veil for enhanced performance, surface finish or handling.

product application

OCV^TM Quadriaxial Fabrics combine the strength of biaxial with the twist resistance of double bias fabrics. These multiaxial fabrics are ideal for applications requiring quasi-isotropic performance. Applications include heavy structural laminates such as outrigger hulls and decks, marine trailer panels, shipping containers, and pultruded profiles. Since the concentration of reinforcement in each direction can be engineered, Quadriaxial Fabrics offer improved stiffness without added weight or laminate thickness for highperformance structural laminates. Reduced fabric print-through results in enhanced aesthetics on finished products while offering material and labor savings.
