Glass Fibre Braided Sleeve
Glass fibre braided sleeves are ideal for the production of tubes and also for prostheses in orthopedic technology. Another major area of application is spar- or hollow structures in vehicles, sports equipment and boat building.
The glass fibre sleeves are well suitable for applications with epoxy or polyester resins.
The diameter of the braided sleeves can be varied by stretching. Ideally, the fiber angle should be between 30° and 60°. Optimal torsion and shear strengths are achieved at an angle of 45°. You can find more detailed information on our product data sheet.
Our glass fibre braided sleeves are always offered and sold in stretched condition, since it is technically not possible to wrap the hoses with a fiber angle of 45°. As a guideline, a length change of approx. 20-30% is possible. Example: straight carbon sleeve approx. 100m. at 45° length of approx. 75m
