Glass Fibre Reinforcement Tapes

Glass fibre tapes are versatile reinforcement materials designed to provide strength, stability and reinforcement within composite structures.

Manufactured using woven or stitched glass fibre reinforcements, these tapes offer excellent mechanical performance while remaining lightweight, easy to handle and cost-effective.

When combined with resin systems, glass tapes create strong, rigid composite laminates suitable for a wide range of structural and industrial applications.

Available in both woven and unidirectional constructions, glass tapes are commonly used across marine, automotive, industrial, tooling, construction and general composite manufacturing applications.

Key Benefits

  • Good strength-to-weight performance

  • Excellent tensile strength and mechanical properties

  • High temperature resistance

  • Easy to handle and form around components

  • Suitable for structural reinforcement applications

  • Available in woven and unidirectional formats

  • Compatible with epoxy, polyester and vinyl ester resin systems

  • Cost-effective reinforcement solution

Product Range

Cristex supplies glass fibre tapes in woven and unidirectional constructions across a range of fibre weights and tape widths.

Applications

Glass fibre tapes are commonly used across a wide range of composite applications including:

  • Localised reinforcement of composite laminates

  • Edge and joint strengthening

  • Marine and boatbuilding applications

  • Automotive composite components

  • Industrial composite structures

  • Pipe wrapping and repair applications

  • Tooling and mould reinforcement

  • General GRP manufacturing

Their narrow-width construction makes them ideal for reinforcing corners, edges, seams and structural sections where additional strength is required.
