1708 Multi-axial fiberglass Fabric is a type of composite reinforcement material used in a variety of industries, including manufacturing, construction, and aerospace. Its multi-axial construction characterizes it, meaning it consists of layers of fiberglass fibers oriented in different directions. This gives the fabric enhanced strength and stiffness, making it ideal for applications where high load-bearing capacity is required.

Materials Needed

• 1708 Multi-Axial Fiberglass Fabric
• Resin
• Brush or roller
• Curing agent
• Safety glasses
• Gloves
• Mask

Instructions:

1. Prepare the surface. The surface where the fabric will be applied must be clean, smooth, and free from contaminants. If necessary, sand the surface to remove any loose particles.
2. Cut the fabric to size. Measure and cut the fabric to the desired shape and size using a sharp pair of scissors or a rotary cutter.
3. Position the fabric. Place the cut fabric onto the prepared surface, aligning it with the desired orientation of the fibers.
4. Apply resin. Apply the resin to the fabric using a brush or roller. Ensure the fabric is thoroughly saturated with resin.
5. Curing. Allow the resin to cure according to the manufacturer's instructions. This may involve a specific curing time and temperature.
6. Post-processing. After the resin has cured, you can further process the composite as required. This may include trimming excess material, sanding or finishing the surface, or applying additional layers or coatings.

Safety precautions

• Always wear safety glasses, gloves, and a mask when working with fiberglass fabric.
• Avoid breathing in fiberglass dust.
• Work in a well-ventilated area.
• Dispose of used fiberglass fabric properly.

Tips

• For best results, use a resin system that is compatible with the type of fiberglass fabric you are using.
• When applying resin, work from the center of the fabric outward to prevent air bubbles from forming.
• Use a consolidation roller or vacuum pressure to remove any trapped air bubbles.
• Allow the resin to cure completely before handling the composite.

1708 Multi-Axial Fiberglass Fabric is a versatile and reliable material that can be used for a variety of applications. Following this blog post's instructions, you can use this material safely and effectively to create strong and durable composites.
