Multiaxial & unidirectional fabrics
- Multiaxial & unidirectional fabrics
For demanding composite components
Our multiaxial and unidirectional fabrics (non-crimp fabrics) form the basis for high-performance fiber composite solutions, precisely tailored to the load, geometry, and process. With individually selectable layer structures, fiber orientations, and types, it is possible to create structures that combine high stiffness, strength, and weight advantages.
Thanks to continuous further development and application-specific variants, we offer technical textiles at the cutting edge of composite technology.
From unidirectional to multiaxial
Unidirectional fabrics (UDs) offer maximum strength and rigidity in the fiber direction. The targeted fiber orientation ensures optimum load transfer. Whether in construction, wind power or vehicle construction - UDs are an essential component of modern lightweight construction solutions.
Our multiaxial fabrics (NCFs) combine strength and flexibility. Variable fiber layers - e.g. 0°, ±45° or 90° - allow them to absorb loads in several directions. This results in lighter, stiffer and at the same time robust components with high process reliability in processes such as infusion, RTM or prepreg.
Advantages of SAERTEX multiaxial fabrics
Maximum strength through stretched fibers
Optimal for maximum load absorption in the component - the quantity and orientation of the layers are precisely matched to the load direction.
Weight savings
Reduced component weight while maintaining the same mechanical characteristics or greater load capacity at the same weight.
Fewer layers = less effort and lower costs
Excellent drapability and permeability
Specially developed for infusion processes and individually adapted to customer requirements.
Resin compatibility
Individual configuration - tailored to your process
