1208 Kevlar Fiberglass Hybrid Fabric – ±45° Biaxial with Chop Strand Mat

Overview:
The 1208 Kevlar Fiberglass Hybrid Fabric is a premium reinforcement combining E-glass and aramid (Kevlar®) fibers in a ±45° stitched biaxial configuration with an integrated chopped strand mat. Weighing approximately 12 oz/yd² (≈ 406 g/m²), this fabric delivers exceptional impact resistance, tensile strength, and flexibility in a balanced laminate structure.

Key Features:

• Hybrid reinforcement of Kevlar® aramid and E-glass fibers for optimized strength-to-weight performance.
• ±45° fiber orientation for improved torsional stiffness and multidirectional load handling.
• Integrated chopped strand mat (CSM) layer enhances resin flow and interlaminar adhesion.
• Provides superior toughness, puncture resistance, and fatigue life compared to traditional fiberglass.
• Compatible with polyester, vinyl ester, and epoxy resins.
• Commonly used in boat hulls, racing composites, structural panels, and impact-resistant parts.

Technical Data:

• Total Weight: 19.48 oz/yd² (≈ 660 g/m²)
• Width: 50 inches (1270 mm)
• Stitching: 7 CPI, 3.63 mm stitch length
• Composition: 31.98% ±45° aramid/glass, 34.66% chopped strand mat
• Roll Length: 100 yards (≈ 300 ft)

Applications:

• Marine hulls and decks
• Impact-resistant composite structures
• Performance automotive and aerospace laminates
• Protective gear, panels, and mold reinforcements

For best results, wet-out using vacuum infusion, resin transfer molding (RTM), or hand lay-up techniques. Ensure full saturation of the mat layer for optimal laminate integrity.
