Glass Filament Fabric Silane
High-quality silane glass fabric for versatile applications
What are the special properties of silane glass fabric?
Silane Glass Fabric is made from high-quality E-glass fibers and treated with a special Silane finish. This surface treatment enhances the adhesion between the glass fibers and the resin systems used. As a result, the fabric offers excellent impregnation properties and enables a homogeneous laminate structure. Additionally, it provides high tensile strength while maintaining a low weight—an ideal combination for lightweight construction and composite material production. Furthermore it exhibits high chemical resistance. These properties make it particularly suitable for use in high-load structures where long-term durability and material integrity are essential.
What weave types are available?
Our online shop for reinforcement fibers offers various fabric types, including plain weave and twill weave. Plain weave ensures an even fiber distribution and high dimensional stability, while twill weave provides better drapeability. These variants allow for optimal adaptation to the requirements of different fiber-reinforced components. Additionally, the choice of weave type significantly affects the mechanical behavior of the finished component. Finer fabric structures provide an exceptionally smooth surface, while coarser structures offer improved resin absorption. This allows the material properties to be precisely tailored to the respective application areas.
Where is silane glass fabric used?
Due to its outstanding mechanical properties, Silane Glass Fabric is used in various industrial sectors. In boat building, it serves as a robust reinforcement layer; in model making, it enables filigree lightweight constructions; and in tank and mold construction, it ensures durable, load-bearing structures. It also plays a key role in the production of sports equipment, automotive components, and hybrid composite materials with carbon or aramid. Thanks to its high resistance to environmental influences, it is also used in the aerospace industry and the wind energy sector. By allowing the use of different epoxy resin systems, it can be integrated into a wide range of construction types, from thin laminate layers to high-strength structural components.
What advantages does silane glass fabric offer over other materials?
Silane glass fabric offers significant advantages over untreated fiberglass fabrics, especially in the field of composite technology and when laminating with epoxy resin. Thanks to the silane sizing, the glass fabric provides improved adhesion to epoxy resin systems, ensuring a reliable bond between resin and fiber. The material also benefits from a uniform wet-out behavior, which supports clean processing and high laminating quality. Another key advantage is its high mechanical stability, making silane glass fabric a robust and durable reinforcement fiber for GRP components, composite structures, and technical laminate constructions. Additionally, the material provides outstanding corrosion resistance, allowing it to be used reliably even in demanding environments.
