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.
If you order 2 metres or less, these cloths will be folded to reduce packaging materials, if however you require the item to be on a roll please let us know in your order notes.
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.
