3D WOVEN FIBERGLASS FABRICS
3-D Woven Fiberglass Fabric construction is a newly developed concept. The 3-D Woven Fiberglass Fabrics consists of two bi-directional woven fabric surfaces, which are mechanically connected with vertical woven piles.
3D Fiberglass Fabric has a non-laminated interwoven structure, where the surfaces are strongly interwoven together by vertically braided piles.
The fabric surfaces on both sides are strongly connected to each other by the vertical pile fibers which are interwoven with the surfaces (the Wraps and Wefts). Therefore, the 3-D spacer fabric can provide good skin-core debonding resistance, excellent durability, and superior integrity. The piles are 8-shaped in the warp direction and semi C-shaped in the weft direction.
In addition, the interstitial space of the construction can be filled up with different kind of foams and mortars to provide synergistic support with vertical piles.
These products have broad application prospects in automobile, Oil storage tank, aerospace, marine, windmills, building and other industries.
