Triaxial fabrics are non-crimp composite reinforcements consisting of three fibre layers orientated in multiple directions, typically +45°/-45° with either 0° or 90°, stitched together using polyester yarns.

By combining three directional fibre orientations within a single reinforcement, triaxial fabrics provide improved torsional rigidity, balanced mechanical performance and efficient load distribution.

This construction allows for increased structural efficiency while reducing the number of individual laminate layers required.

Key Benefits

  • Reduction in the number of laminate layers required

  • Increased areal weights within a single reinforcement

  • Improved torsional rigidity and structural stability

  • Enhanced load distribution across multiple directions

  • Reduced fibre crimp compared to woven fabrics

  • Improved handling and process efficiency
