PRODUCT INFORMATION PRODUCT DESCRIPTION PRODUCT APPLICATION OCV™ 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. OCV™ 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 boat hulls and decks, 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 high- performance structural laminates. Reduced fabric print-through results in enhanced aesthetics on finished products while offering material and labor savings. FEATURES PRODUCT BENEFITS Crimp-free construction Improved fiber alignment and mechanical properties Optimized directional fiber content Reduced resin usage and part weight Four-layer construction reduces the number of steps in lay-up Reduced fabrication costs Reduce print-through Enhanced aesthetics with material and labor savings Multiaxial reinforcement Quasi-isotropic properties Available in a variety of widths and weights Offers solutions for wide range of applications PRODUCT NOMENCLATURE
