    Fiberglass Sheets

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Contains Inset. Fiberglass. Fiberglass Sheets.
    Use these fiberglass sheets to reinforce or repair existing composites as well as create new composites. Mold custom-shaped composite parts by layering fiberglass 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.
    These fiberglass sheets have a twill weave with 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 sheets 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 Fabric

    Plain Weave

    Use this resin-free fabric to reinforce or repair existing composites as well as create new composites. Mold custom-shaped composite parts by layering fabric with an epoxy. Finished composite pieces withstand temperatures up to 250° or 350° F.
    Plain Weave—Fabric with a plain weave has fibers that are woven in alternating directions for uniform strength and rigidity in all directions. Easier to machine than fabrics with a unidirectional weave, its woven pattern holds the fibers together to limit splintering. Plain-weave fabric is more rigid and maintains its shape better than twill-weave fabric. However, it is not as strong and easy to manipulate as twill- and triaxial-weave fabric.
    Kevlar Fabric—Kevlar fabric is a super-tough material that offers excellent wear and abrasion resistance.

    Carbon Fiber Sheets

    Twill Weave

    Use these resin-free carbon fiber sheets to reinforce or repair existing composites as well as create new composites. Mold custom-shaped composite parts by layering carbon fiber sheets 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.
    Carbon fiber is the strongest composite we offer.
    Twill Weave—Sheets with a twill weave have fibers that are woven in alternating directions for uniform strength and rigidity in all directions. Easier to machine than carbon fiber sheets with a unidirectional weave, their woven pattern holds the fibers together to limit splintering. Twill-weave sheets are stronger than plain-weave sheets. 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 sheets.
