Subject Fiberglass cloth 8H satin weave 9 oz/sq/yd hexcel 7781
Fabric Weight 9 ounce per square yard (8.95 oz/yd2 or 303 g/m2)
Is one of the most widely used weave style used in the composites industry.This style fabric is one of the easiest fabrics to use and it is ideal for laying up cowls, fuselages, ducts and other contoured surfaces with minimal distortions. Note how the fabric can be folded without separation or weave distortion.
Volan Finished cloths exhibits faster and complete wet out with most thermoset resins for less air bubble entrapment and porosity. Cured laminates tend to dent rather than crack making it an ideal fabric for high impact applications. Use this fiberglass cloth when high strength parts are desired and where curved and contoured parts are to be produced.
It is ideal for structural construction, composites reinforcement, mold making, aircraft and auto parts tooling, marine and other composite lightweight applications.
Volan is also known as Chrome Finish due to presence of chromium applied to glass fibers . The Volan sizing or finish is applied to fiberglass fabric during the manufacturing process to give good bonding to epoxy, vinyl ester and polyester resins. If used with clear resins, volan cloth will appear to have a slight greenish tint.

For multiple yard purchase, request for an invoice and
The minimum cut length is 1 yard or
3 feet lenght by 60 inches wide
(folded and packaged in sealed bag)
Cut lenght greater than 10 yards will be supplied rolled on cardboard core
A good rule of thumb is to calculate
65% fiberglass to 35% resin by weight.
Use 60% to 40% as a safe factor.
1 yard of 8 ounce fabric at 38 inches wide weighs 224 grams
1 yard of 10 ounce fabric at 38 inches wide weighs 280 grams
(224/60%) X 40% = 149.3 grams of resin needed
1 gallon of resin = 4239 grams (1.12 g/cc)
1 fluid ounce of resin = 33.17 grams
So for every yard of 10 ounce fabric, you will need
5.63 fluid ounces of resin per 1 sq.yd.
