Fiberglass Woven Fabric 165 g/m² Plain Weave

Fiberglass Woven Fabric 165 g/m² Plain Weave

Fiberglass Woven Fabric 165 g/m² Plain Weave is a woven glass fiber reinforcement material used in composite manufacturing. Its nominal areal weight of 165 g/m² represents the dry mass of one square metre of fabric. The material can be combined with a compatible resin system to produce fiberglass-reinforced composite laminates.

Plain Weave Construction

The fabric features a 1/1 plain weave pattern in which the warp and weft yarns alternately pass over and under each other. This arrangement creates a regular woven structure and helps maintain fabric stability during handling and lay-up.

The warp and weft yarns provide reinforcement in two principal directions within the composite laminate. Plain weave is a commonly used textile construction for composite reinforcement due to its regular interlacing pattern and structural stability.

165 g/m² Areal Weight

The nominal areal weight of 165 g/m² can be used to calculate the dry reinforcement mass required for a composite component. It is also useful when planning fabric layers and estimating material requirements.

The final laminate weight and thickness depend on the amount of resin used, fiber volume fraction, number of layers and manufacturing process.

Composite Manufacturing Applications

Fiberglass woven fabric can be used as reinforcement in composite panels, sheets, molds and industrial components. Single-layer or multilayer laminates can be produced using suitable resin systems and manufacturing methods.

During lamination, complete resin impregnation and removal of trapped air between reinforcement layers are important for laminate quality. Compatibility between the resin system and the fabric surface treatment should be verified before production.
