Heavy Multiaxials
Warp Triaxial, Weft Triaxial, Quadraxial Glass Fibre Cloths
Triaxial Triaxial Glass Fibre cloth has about 1/3rd of the fibres at 45 degrees to the length of the cloth (+45degrees) and another 1/3rd at right angles to the first lot, so they are also at 45 degrees to the length of the roll, but the opposite 45 degrees (-45 degrees). It also has 1/3rd of its fibres running along the roll which is called Warp Triaxial or it has the other 1/3rd running across the length of the cloth, and this is called Weft Triaxial. Triaxial glass fibre fabric is frequently used to reinforce the sides of a yacht where the chain plates attach, with the uniaxial fibres veretical so that it has fibres running in the direction of most of the load. Triaxial can be thought of as a double bias cloth combined with a uniaxial cloth.
Qudraxial has 25% of its fibres at +45 degrees to the length of the cloth, another 25% at -45 degrees (so that they are at right angles to the first lot of 25% of fibres). It then has 25% of its fibres running across the length of the cloth (90 degrees), and another 25% running along the length of the cloth (0 degrees). Quadaxial can be thought of as a double bias cloth combined with a biaxial cloth. It has fibres running within 22.5 degrees of any direction, so it has almost equal strength in any direction. It is used in locations where the loads are hard to predict or where they vary dramatically in direction, for example under the bridge deck of a catamaran.
Please note that all these cloths are 1.27m wide, so a roll is too long to go by Australia Post. Either we must fold them (which does crease them) or we will need to send them by courier or freight carrier.
Take care if sending using Australia Post or a satchel. Click here for Shipping Notes.

Uniaxial 599 gsm 1.27m wide. E Glass. Per lineal metre
This is uniaxial cloth. More correctly it is called Warp uniaxial in that almost all the threads are aligned along the length of the roll. It is 0.50mm thick and a full roll is 60 metres long. It is 1.27m wide so it would have to be folded to go through the post. A roll can go by Fastway or general freight. Click here for the Data Sheet. This is uniaxial cloth. More correctly it is called Warp uniaxial in that almos... -
Biaxial 605 gsm. 1.27m Wide. E Glass. per lineal metre.
This is biaxial, it has about half the glass threads running along the length of the roll and about half across the roll. The actual specification (Oct 2008) is 284 gsm along the length of the roll and 313 gsm of threads across the roll. The cloth is 0.60mm thick and a full roll is 62 metres long. The cloth is 1.27m wide and it would have to be folded to go by post. A full width roll can go by... This is biaxial, it has about half the glass threads running along the length o... -
Double Bias 617 gsm 1.27m wide. E Glass. per Metre
This is usually called Biaxial or +-45 Biaxial by our north american friends. We think double bias is a much clearer name for this cloth. This cloth is 1.27m wide and 0.58mm thick. It would have to be folded to go through the post, although it can be delivered on aroll by Fastway or a freight company. A full roll is 65 metres long. Click here for the Data Sheet.

Warp Triaxial 757 gsm. 1.27m wide. E Glass. Per lineal metre.
This is triaxial cloth which can be thought of as a double bias cloth combined with a uniaxial cloth. It is a warp triaxial which means that the uniaxial threads run along the length of the roll. It is 0.8mm thick and it has 283 gsm of uniaxial threads running along the length of the roll plus 230 gsm in each of the bias directions. A full roll is 52 metres long. It is 1.27m wide so it cannot go... This is triaxial cloth which can be thought of as a double bias cloth combined ... -
Weft Triaxial 757 gsm. 1.27m wide. E Glass. Per lineal metre.
This is triaxial cloth which can be thought of as a double bias cloth combined with a uniaxial cloth. It is a weft triaxial which means that the uniaxial threads run across the length of the roll. It is 0.8mm thick and it has 283 gsm of uniaxial threads running across the length of the roll plus 230 gsm in each of the bias directions. A full roll is 52 metres long. It is 1.27m wide so it cannot... This is triaxial cloth which can be thought of as a double bias cloth combined ... -
Quadriaxial 607 gsm. 1.27m wide. E Glass. Per lineal metre.
This is quadriaxial cloth which can be thought of as a double bias cloth combined with a biaxial cloth. It is 0.6 mm thick and it has 141.5 gsm of threads running across the length of the roll and 141.5grams of threads running along the length of the roll plus 158 gsm in each of the bias directions. This cloth is quite tightly woven and will be difficult to completely wet out with higher... This is quadriaxial cloth which can be thought of as a double bias cloth combin...
