Reinforcement fibres
Reinforcement fibres for manufacturing and repairing composite parts: glass, carbon, aramid, basalt, Innegra and natural fibres. Choose the material, format and fibre orientation to suit your manufacturing process.
What to consider when choosing
Choosing reinforcement fibres by material and format
Alongside fabrics, the catalogue includes glass fibre chopped strand mats, tapes, tubular sleeves, unidirectional and multiaxial reinforcement. These formats are not equivalent: a sleeve for making a tube and a fabric for laminating a surface are chosen using different criteria.
Distinguish chopped fibres from continuous fibres and compare the part geometry, fibre arrangement and supply format. The material and resin system data sheets help you check suitability for the planned laminate.
Applications and material selection
For general parts and moulds, glass fibre offers fabrics and glass fibre mat with different roles. Some glass fibre mat descriptions also cover waterproofing; in marine work, fabrics and combinations follow the laminate design, while aramid tapes cover kayak and board hull-to-deck joints.
For sports equipment, carbon fibre includes padel-racket sleeves and spread tow for bicycle parts and surfboards. Carbon/Innegra hybrid reinforcement fibre fabrics document canoes, kayaks and car or motorcycle parts where impact matters. Flax fibres offer another option for sports projects seeking vibration damping.
For visible fabric, compare pattern, colour and cutting stability too. Fibre, format and resin are selected together for the intended part. The range also includes carbon-look fabrics, such as Diolen-type polyester fabrics. They are a visual alternative, not carbon fibre: do not assume they have the same properties.
