What it is
Two glass layers laid at plus and minus 45 degrees and stitched together, not glued. Shear and torsion load run along the fiber, which is why this architecture is used where a 0/90 fabric would delaminate.
Why buyers pick it
Shear strength. Fibers sit on the load path instead of crossing it.
Conforms to curves. Drapes over double-curved moulds without wrinkling.
No binder. Nothing to dissolve, so wet-out is fast and styrene stays low.
Best for
Pipes and shafts under torsion
Wind blade shells and spars
Marine hulls and pressure vessels
Made to your spec
Areal weight, the balance between the two axes, width and stitch density are produced to order. If your design calls for an uneven split, say so — it is set at production, not by trimming later.
