How would I tell what the weights are in the orientation of this triaxial?
Do you think they are equal 8oz in each direction?
I emailed gamma but no response
Seller doesn't know.
Cant find a product catalog for Gamma either.

wow 3 declined offers last aug.
pretty heavy stuff but weave looks pretty tight.
It looks a lot like vectorply
e-tlx2400 is .034" thick and 26.11oz/sq yd.
so his guess 27oz/sq yd is probably close.
Don't know how you'd get info on that stuff.
could the seller mic the 0 an d 45 tows to see the thickness?
might give you a bit of an indication.

$400 would be a pretty fair offer.
If I didn't already have enough glass for 100 pair of skis I'd be making an offer.

This is the T900 triaxial fabric. It has 900g/m² which converts to 26.54 oz/yd². If this is their regular weave the fibers are distributed evenly at about 8.84 oz/yd².

I have few rolls of this exact material. I'd sell it for for considerably less if anyone wants some. Just have too much vectorply right now and it's taking up space. It's a pretty tight/uniform weave.

I know one of their German distributors and they once informed me that their regular triax is evenly weighted. As for the type and weight of glass, it says T900 in one of the photos which stands for triax 900g/m².

Yeah i saw the t900 just didnt think.
Thanks man.
Hey scc care to alude to why you prefer the vectroply instead of the tensor stuff?
Shoot me a pm on cost on that or post it here if you like.
Thanks

I'd sell it for $350/roll.

The Vectorply is heavier on the 0° than the Tensor, we actually use the Tensor in longboards primarily. It's definitely a good product, just use Vectorply in skis because that's what we've been using.
