Multiaxials

Multiaxials for marine applications

Biaxial

Biaxial Fibres have two layers orientated at 0˚/90˚ or +45˚/-45˚ bound together using polyester stitching yarns. Alternative angles are available on request.

The Benefits

  • Improvement in mechanical properties
  • Improved resistance to fatigue and impact
  • Improved stability even when cut
  • Can be supplied as a high drape fabric (+/-45˚)
  • Improves surface finish (print through) is often achieved using a +/-45˚ structure

What We Offer

Available in a standard width of 127cm (other widths are available subject to minimum order quantities). +/-45˚ fabrics can be supplied with an additional layer of CSM 225g or 300g as needed. Cristex offers a range of Biaxial fabrics in the following fibres and weights:

Bidirectional

Bidirectional Fibres laid at 0°/90° stitched together by Polyester yarn. A CSM or fleece can be included to the upper or lower side. Standard widths are 127 – 130 cm, alternative widths are available subject to minimum order quantity.

The Benefits

  • Improved mechanical properties
  • Ease of wet out
  • Drapability
  • Easy to cut and shape

What We Offer

Cristex offers a range of Bidirectional fabrics in the following fibres and weights (please contact the sales team for more information).

Triaxial

Triaxial fabrics have three layers positioned in three different orientations typically, +/- 45˚ and 0˚ or +/-45˚ and 90˚ with polyester stitching yarns.

The Benefits

  • Reduction in the number of layers to be used
  • Increase in areal weights
  • Increase in torsional rigidity, longitudinal (0˚ 4/-45˚ or transvers 90˚ +/-45˚)

What We Offer

Triaxial fabrics can be supplied in the following fibres and weights:

  • Glass fibre: 600g – 1800g
  • Carbon fibre: 450g – 900g
  • Aramid fibre: please contact the sales team for further information

Other weights can be considered subject to minimum order quantities.
