Woven Roving is a widely used material in composite construction, with perfect properties of reinforcement, corrosion-resistance and insulation. Provides high tensile and flexural strength in laminates.
At it's best it is sandwiched between alternating layers matting, ideally a balanced laminate, ie. equal layers of matting on either side of Woven Roving. On it's own it will be subject to delamination or 'peeling' from surface.
Woven Roving's highest strength is in the direction of the warp and weft strands which are oriented at 90 degrees to each other.
Approximately over 90% of boat hulls over 20ft in length are built with Woven Roving within their construction.
Resin:Woven Roving ratio 1:1 , i,e 600g of Resin will "wet out" 1 sq mt of 600g woven Roving.
Dry fabric thickness = 0.5 mm approximately.
Orders for this cloth up to 4 mt length
1mt, 2mt and 3mt of cloth will be carefully folded and packaged neatly, minimising as much creasing and distortion to the fabric as possible. If ordering 4 Mt’s or more then the cloth will be supplied rolled on a cardboard tube.
Can i use this in between layers of chopped strand matting for my boat hull?
Yes, it is used in conjunction with other reinforcements in hull manufacture.
