 Fabric Properties
36" 4.6 150 x 220
  • Only High Aspect line of Fiber 104 / 1W70 available.
  • High Aspect Fiber 104 uses the best, most expensive yarns in warp and fill: Fiber 104 and 1W70. Competing fabrics use little or none of these.
  • These fabrics use much higher counts of finer, smaller yarns than do competing fabrics.
  • High Aspect Fiber 104 requires half the resin to achieve a particular bias spec than most high aspect fabrics.

During resin impregnation the fabric is immersed in a bath of suspended resin. The resin is absorbed into the yarns. The amount of resin determines the firmness of the finished sailcloth. In the pre-fatigued finish, a super-firm formula of resin is used, which, after curing, is beat up by the steel buttons of the button breaker. The remaining resin is well bonded, and the finish is tough and durable. The finish is so durable that a more severe impact flutter machine was necessary to sufficiently abuse flutter samples so as to show a gap between initial and fluttered sample graph curves on some fabrics.
