500 g/m² Plain Weave Fiberglass Fabric

500 g/m² Plain Weave Fiberglass Fabric

500 g/m² Plain Weave Fiberglass Fabric is a woven glass fiber reinforcement material used in composite manufacturing. Featuring a 1/1 plain weave construction and a nominal areal weight of 500 g/m², the fabric consists of interlaced glass fiber yarns arranged in the warp and weft directions.

The woven construction provides reinforcement along two principal fabric directions. When impregnated with a suitable resin system, the fabric forms a reinforcing layer within composite laminates used for panels, components, and mould structures.

Plain Weave (1/1) Construction

Plain weave is a fundamental textile construction in which each warp yarn passes alternately over and under successive weft yarns. This interlacing pattern mechanically connects the yarns and helps maintain the structural integrity of the fabric.

The resistance to yarn displacement helps the dry fabric retain its woven alignment during cutting, handling, and positioning. Plain weave fabrics are particularly suitable for flat surfaces and components with relatively simple geometries.

Technical Specifications

• Material: Woven fiberglass fabric
• Areal weight: 500 g/m²
• Weave type: Plain Weave
• Weave pattern: 1/1
• Reinforcement direction: Bidirectional, warp and weft
• Product classification: Composite fiber reinforcement material

Fabric Characteristics

• Regular weave construction: Interlaced warp and weft yarns form a stable woven structure.
• Bidirectional reinforcement: Provides fiber reinforcement along the warp and weft directions of the laminate.
• Weave stability: The plain weave structure helps reduce yarn displacement during dry fabric cutting and handling.
• Composite lamination: Forms a fiber reinforcement layer when combined with a suitable resin system.

Applications

• Composite panel and sheet manufacturing
• Composite component production
• Composite mould manufacturing
• Glass fiber reinforced laminate production
• Hand lay-up composite manufacturing

Application Information

The fiberglass fabric can be impregnated with a suitable resin system and used as a reinforcing layer in hand lay-up composite manufacturing. The number of fabric layers, fiber orientation, and laminate configuration should be selected according to the design requirements of the finished component.

Resin selection and processing conditions should be evaluated according to the technical data sheet of the selected resin system and the confirmed compatibility of the fiberglass fabric.
