plain wicker fibers

Introducing plain wicker fibers

It is a fabric that is uniformly woven from continuous glass fibers and has a simple texture and can be supplied in 165 gram and 200 gram textures for various purposes. This product is mainly used for unsaturated polyester and vinyl ester resins, as well as cases where high mechanical strength is required, such as pipeline making, boat construction and airplane parts.

wicker fiber is a material composed of glass fiber that is woven in a specific pattern to provide high strength when used to reinforce cladding or other composite systems. These fibers are heavy because they are bonded together during the production of glass fibers.

Woven fibers are compatible with a wide variety of resin systems.

Characteristics that make woven materials ideal for covering materials prone to corrosion include:

For complex shapes, wicker fibers can be used.

This type of fiber has different types and they can be used for different applications.

For the lamination of open mold fiberglass parts in which strength and lamination are required.

It increases the flexibility and resistance of laminate products.

Ideal for applications in which their resistance is increased by layering materials.

It provides good repeatability.

It is affordable.

Applications of plain wicker fibers

glass fibers with wicker texture are used to make high strength mechanical parts to achieve the best results in polyester and vinyl ester and other high performance resin systems. This product is widely used in the production of boats, containers, airplanes, car parts, interior decoration, sports equipment, corrosion-resistant tanks, wind turbines and other parts and plays a significant role in increasing the mechanical strength (longitudinal and transverse) of the Composite parts.

Characteristics of plain wicker fibers

High mechanical resistance

Great dimensional stability

Uniformity in texture

It has many pores and facilitates the absorption of resin and fibers with very small pores

Wavy and flexible structure for easy application

Top glass cover

The texture pattern is a combination of the best types of fibers

Engineered warp and twist of fibers

High mechanical resistance

High resistance to moisture

In all types of fabrics such as plain, satin, etc. there are two-way fibers with very high resistance, whose fibers are placed in two perpendicular directions. Among the most important features of this category of fibers, in addition to their high tensile strength, we can mention light weight and resistance to various environmental conditions and acidic environments.

Today, two-way fibers are used in various fields and industries, such as the manufacture of automobile and aircraft parts, the manufacture of sports equipment, the construction of ship hulls, etc., but the most important case of consumption and application of bidirectional glass fibers can be mentioned as strengthening and sealing industry, which is for retrofitting buildings and industrial structures, retrofitting bridges, retrofitting pipes and steel and concrete tanks, seismic retrofitting of buildings, etc.

Due to its resistance to corrosive factors, two-way glass fibers are widely used as a protective coating in various industries. Also, due to the electrical insulation of these fibers, they are used in various fields that require thermal insulation with high resistance and durability.

Storage conditions for plain wicker fibers

Plain wicker fibers are in the form of rolls with tubes, which are packed in polyethylene bags.

Wicker fibers should be stored in a dry and cool place at a temperature between 10 and 35 degrees Celsius with less than 65% humidity. It is recommended not to store the product for more than 24 hours in an environment where the temperature is less than 10 degrees, and in order to prevent moisture absorption, do not open the package until use.

Keep away from sunlight and avoid direct moisture contact with fibers and keep them in a covered environment.

Durability of plain wicker fibers

The product’s storage period is 12 months.
