    What is 1708 Fiberglass?

    1708 fiberglass is a biaxial fabric with strands woven at a 45-degree angle and a mat backing, usually 3/4 oz per square foot. The fabric weighs 17 ounces per square yard, hence the name "1708."

    Key Benefits

    • Strength and Durability: The biaxial weave offers exceptional tensile strength, while the mat backing adds bulk and stiffness, enhancing overall durability.
    • Versatility: Compatible with polyester, vinyl ester, and epoxy resins, making it suitable for diverse projects.
    • Ease of Use: Easy to cut, shape, and apply, conforming well to complex shapes and surfaces.
    • Corrosion Resistance: Excellent resistance to corrosion when combined with appropriate resins, ideal for harsh environments.

    Common Applications

    • Marine Industry: Used in boat building and repair for hulls, decks, and structural components due to its strength and corrosion resistance.
    • Automotive Industry: Reinforces panels, body parts, and structural elements, offering lightweight yet strong construction.
    • Construction: Reinforces concrete, creates durable overlays, and repairs structural elements.
    • Recreational Vehicles (RVs): Strengthens and lightens RV structures, handling the stresses of road travel.

    Installation Tips

    • Preparation: Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free of contaminants. Sanding helps with adhesion.
    • Cutting: Use sharp scissors or a rotary cutter on a flat surface for clean edges.
    • Application: Lay the fiberglass, apply resin using a brush or roller, ensure full saturation, and work out air bubbles.
    • Curing: Allow resin to cure fully, which varies with resin type and temperature.
    • Finishing: Sand the surface post-curing to remove rough edges or high spots. Apply additional layers if needed.

    1708 fiberglass is a top choice for reinforcing structures in the marine, automotive, construction, and RV industries. Whether you're building or repairing, 1708 fiberglass provides durable, long-lasting solutions.
