Aramid/Fiberglass Blend Fabric
A blend of aramid and fiberglass, this fabric resists mildew and abrasion. It is self-extinguishing and won't melt, so it's often used for insulation applications.

Water-Repellent Cotton Fabric Sheets
Saturated with wax, these sheets also have a polyester coating on one side to resist corrosion and moisture. Protect piping and wrap irregularly shaped objects with this very flexible fabric. It adheres to itself but can be separated easily.
Cotton Fabric Sheets and Strips
Also known as cotton duck and canvas, this fabric can be used as dust covers, drop cloths, and straps.
Off-white fabric is unbleached. White fabric has been bleached.

Flame-Resistant Cotton Fabric Sheets
This cotton fabric is treated to resist flames, allowing it to meet Canvas Products Association International CPAI-84, Section 6. Use as tarps.
Ultra-Thin Filter Fabric
With thickness similar to filter paper, this fabric provides higher flow and is more flexible than felt. It’s often used to filter water, light oil, and water soluble and synthetic coolants in metal polishing, grinding, and finishing applications. This fabric is also good for filtering air and petroleum.
Polyester fabric is 100% polyester for greater strength than rayon/polyester.

Composite Fabrics
Use these resin-free fabrics to reinforce or repair existing composites as well as create new composites. Mold custom-shaped composite parts by layering your choice of fabric with an epoxy. The epoxy (sold separately) is a two-part resin that begins to harden in 15 hours and reaches full strength in 4 days. Finished composite pieces withstand temperatures up to 250° or 350° F.
Fabrics with a plain, twill, or triaxial weave have fibers that are woven in alternating directions for uniform strength and rigidity in all directions. Easier to machine than fabrics with a unidirectional weave, their woven pattern holds the fibers together to limit splintering. Twill-weave fabrics are stronger than plain-weave fabrics. They’re also more flexible, making them easier to manipulate into complex shapes. They will not, however, retain their shape as well as plain-weave fabrics.
Kevlar fabrics are a super-tough material that offers excellent wear and abrasion resistance.

Cheesecloth
Loosely woven from 100% purified cotton, this silicone-free cloth is low linting and won't scratch. The more plies (or layers) the cheesecloth has, the better it is for straining, filtering, and polishing. Individual sheets are rolled together.
Off-white cheesecloth is unbleached. White cheesecloth has been bleached.
