Woven Fiberglass Tape is ideal for selective reinforcement of fiberglass laminates. It can also be used for sleeve, pipe, or tank winding. Use it to join seams in seperate parts and molding.
These tapes are referred to as tapes only for their width and appearance—they are not adhesive backed. Their finished edges offer easier handling and a clean, finished appearance, and keep the tape from unraveling.
Their plain weave construction builds in uniform strength in both horizontal and vertical directions.
Features
Very easy to use for windings, seams, and selective reinforcement.
Fully seemed edges–not slit from wider rolls.
Saturate easily and in most respects are similar to a 10 oz fabric.
Tips
Try using tape for edge reinforcement on wide parts.
Fabrics need to be oriented so the fiber yarns run parallel to the expected loads. If extra strength is needed in a different direction, another ply must be added at an angle to the first. The most common angles are +/- 45 degrees.
Use with epoxy resin, polyester resin, or vinyl ester resin to produce composite parts of excellent strength, low weight, and great cosmetics.
