Fiberglass multiaxial fabrics are the perfect way to reduce the overall area weight of a boat and increase propulsion and maneuverability. These fibers offer numerous benefits over conventional fabrics because they can be used in a wide variety of applications. They can be used for body lining, as an insulator for the metal plates that form the hull of the vessel, and as a buoyant gas or liquid for floating. The fibers also offer high levels of strength, stiffness, flexibility and dimensional stability which are unmatched in any other material.
In order to understand the application of fiberglass multiaxial fabrics one must first understand the relationship between the fibers and the vessels they are designed for. The hull of the boat must be made of materials that are capable of resisting both the internal pressure from within the boat as well as external force from the environment. Additionally, the structure of the vessel must allow for the increased volume of water that is flowing through the hull at all times. Fiberglass multiaxial materials are specifically engineered to meet these requirements and can be used for a wide variety of applications including hull construction, as a buoyancy layer for the metal plates of the hull, as an insulator for fuel lines, and as a liquid filler for the inside of the fuel tank.
The fibers in fiberglass fabric are woven in such a way that the internal pressure within the material itself is balanced with the external pressure. This results in a very complete coat of a highly dense foam that provides excellent shock absorption without allowing the external hull pressure to exert excessive pressure on the inside of the hull. Additionally, the fibers provide excellent stiffness for maximum maneuverability while offering low levels of friction. These traits make the fiberglass fabric very versatile for just about any type of application.
For many years, fiberglass multiaxial fabrics have been used for many applications in the commercial shipping and distribution industry because they have a nearly perfect combination of flexibility and durability. Due to their unique properties, they also offer a very clean, smooth feel and superior energy efficiency compared to traditional polyester or nylon products. Due to their superior strength and wear resistance, they are highly effective in storing both heavy loads and light loads.
While fiberglass has long been the primary choice for the development of this specialized product, recent technological developments have made the development of this versatile product more cost-effective. The development of this multiaxial product has allowed manufacturers to increase manufacturing capacity while simultaneously lowering costs. In addition to having a lower initial investment, this type of multiaxial material can be produced more economically using shorter fibers. Additionally, because the fiberglass material is stronger and more durable than its traditional competitors, they are now becoming the preferred material to develop and manufacture marine hulls, floatation tanks, and support structures.
