Triaxial mesh fabric Laid Scrims for sailing

Short Description:

Product Detail

Product Tags

Due to lightweight, high strength, low shrinkage/elongation, corrosion preventive, laid scrims offers tremendous value compared to conventional material concepts. And it's easily to laminate with many kinds of materials, this makes it has an extensive fields of applications.

Laid scrim can be used as basic materials to produce truck cover, light awning, banner, sail cloth etc.

Triaxial laid scrims also can be used for producing Sail laminates, Table tennis rackets, Kite boards, Sandwich technology of skis and snowboards. Increase the strength and tensile strength of the finished product.

The regular supply of non-woven reinforcement and laminated scrim is 12.5x12.5mm,10x10mm,6.25x6.25mm, 5x5mm,12.5x6.25mm etc. The regular supply grams are 6.5g, 8g, 13g, 15.5g, etc.

With high strength and light weight, it can be fully bonded with almost any material and each roll length can be 10,000 meters.

Sails made from these laminates were stronger and faster than conventional, densely woven sails. It is partly due to the smoother surface of the new sails, which results in lower aerodynamic resistance and better airflow, as well as to the fact that such sails are lighter and because of that faster than woven sails. Still, to achieve maximum sail performance and win a race, stability of the initially designed aerodynamic sail shape is also required. In order to investigate how stable new sails can be under different wind conditions, we performed numerous tensile tests on different modern, laminated sailcloth. The paper presented here describes how stretchy and strong new sails really are.

Application

Laminated sailcloth

In the 1970s sailmakers began to laminate multiple materials with different characteristics to synergize the qualities of each. Using sheets of PET or PEN reduces stretch in all directions, where weaves are most efficient in the direction of the threadlines. Lamination also allow fibers to be placed in a straight, uninterrupted paths. There are four main construction styles:
