Woven roving is a heavyweight fiberglass fabric made by interweaving direct rovings in a plain weave pattern. It is a cost-effective and efficient material used in the composite industry to add thickness and strength to laminates. Composed of continuous glass fiber strands, woven roving is designed to deliver high-performance results in various applications, notably in the production of large structural components.
Advantages:
l Enhanced Strength:
Provides remarkable tensile, flexural, and impact strength to composite materials, crucial for structural applications.
l Cost-Effectiveness:
Compared to other reinforcing materials, woven roving offers a balance between performance and cost, making it a popular choice for large-scale applications.
l Easy Handling and Application:
Despite its weight, it is relatively easy to handle and lay into molds, facilitating its application in hand lay-up and automated processes.
l Good Wet-Out Characteristics:
It readily absorbs resin, ensuring a good bond between the fabric and resin matrix, which is essential for the integrity of composite parts.
l Thickness Contribution:
Adds significant thickness to laminates with fewer layers, simplifying the laminating process and reducing labor costs.
l Versatility:
Compatible with various resin systems, allowing for its use in a wide range of composite manufacturing processes.
Application:
l Marine Industry:
Heavily used in the manufacturing of boat hulls, decks, and other marine structures due to its strength, durability, and resistance to water and impact.
l Automotive and Transportation:
Contributes to the production of lightweight, high-strength components for vehicles and transportation equipment.
l Wind Energy:
Used in the fabrication of wind turbine blades and nacelles, offering the required strength and stiffness while being cost-effective.
l Recreational Products:
Ideal for manufacturing recreational vehicles, sports equipment, and leisure boats where strength and durability are essential.
l Construction and Infrastructure:
Applied in the creation of panels, roofing elements, and structural components that require high strength and resistance to environmental factors.
