quadriaxial fiberglass 0 45 90 -45

Post by andrey »

In my city in Russia here we have a quadriaxial fiberglass manufactured, density 700 g/sq.m. bi-zon.ru/upload/iblock/db2/db2f3615a9d9a5afeb93801fc7b2ee92.jpg

From information on this site and materials stores in US, a triaxial fiberglass it is mostly used with 19 os/sq.yrd density. So, the density is almost the same, but architecture differs.

Would my Russian fiberglass work for ski building? What key issues for fiberglass are? Would an additional longitudinal thread change a ski behaviour? Additional stiffness?

Thank you very much in advance.

Yes it would likely work. The general thought around here is that the 90 deg fibers would not really add much to the ski except weight, but you could make a ski with it.
