As non-renewable energy resources are aggressively depleting, clean (renewable) energy has gained momentum. Every nation is pledging to generate more clean energy with increasing commitment towards reducing the carbon footprint. In response to rising demands, SKAPS Multiaxial Fabrics are contributing ideally to wind energy generation by offering applications in blade manufacturing, blade repairing, and nacelle covers. In addition to that, our composite reinforcements are specially engineered for wind energy markets and when assembled with traditional materials, assure excellent compatibility and the best mechanical performance in all applications.
SKAPS Multiaxial Fabrics enable reinforcement glass fibers to be laid at angles between 20⁰ and 60⁰ (+/-45⁰ is most common). Further, these angled glass fibers can be added to the standard 0⁰/90⁰ construction in various combinations with a maximum of five layers. The individual layers are connected by stitching according to custom requirements. On special request, we can use hot melt yarn for stitching the selvedge of the tapes and woven roving.
HIGH PERFORMANCE DELIVERED
- Better tensile, flexural, and compressive properties in the finished laminate
- Improved strength and lower resin consumption
- Flexibility to suit custom requirements
- Fabric can be precisely draped to fit any end application
- Fewer layers are needed in the finished laminate due to the thickness of the fabrics which increases component build speed
