6oz Surfboard Twill Weave E Glass Fiberglass Cloth Glass Fiber
Fabric
Modern surfboards are made of polyurethane or polystyrene foam
covered with layers of fiberglass cloth, and polyester or epoxy
resin.
Fiberglass fabrics with different weave, surface treatment, and
specification used as the reinforcement in a plastic matrix.
When combined with a resin system the resulting composite
material forms the "skin" of the surfboard.
Fiberglass fabrics are woven from yarns of glass filaments. There
are two types of glass which are used for surfboard fiber glass
cloth, E-glass and S-glass. E-glass is the most common glass fiber
fabric and is produced in huge quantities. S-glass is more
expensive but has higher physical strength properties than E-glass.
The tensile strength of S-glass is about 50% higher than E-glass,
meanwhile it is 25% stiffer in flex. Using
S-glass reduces heel dings and prolongs the life of the board.
Unionfull produces this surfboard cloth in plain or twill
woven and has twill 4oz, 6oz and 8oz e-glass
fiberglass cloth in stock. So twill weave will be
more economical and with less delivery time.
Twill weave is with a pattern of diagonal parallel ribs (in
contrast with satin and plain weave). Each weft(or filling) yarn weave across the warp yarns in
a progression of interweaves into the right or left, forming a pattern of distinct diagonal
lines. The twill weave is more pliable than the plain and has better
drapability.
The width which is in stock is 70cm width for 4oz
fabric, 80cm width for 6oz fabric and 80cm width for 8oz
fabric. They are common specification for surfboard
building, which can meet most customers' requirements.
Except for surfboard production, 6oz giberglass fabric can be used
in other fields. For example, it can be coated to meet special
application such as waterproofing, electrical
insulation or chemical resistance. It also can be used
for septic tank, fabric ducts and fire blankets
production. Now it is classified as a separate series for
sport euipment building: 4oz, 6oz, 8oz, 7628 and other
light weight fabrics, which is always used for sports
euipment products such as snowboard, surfboard and skimboard
building.
