2" Braided Fiberglass Biaxial Sleeve

2" Braided Fiberglass Biaxial Sleeve Overview

10.4 oz/sq yd, 2" Diameter, 0.011" Thick

Braided sleeve will conform to the shape of products with changing geometries like prosthetics and hockey sticks, improving overall performance, minimizing weight, and maximizing strength. It can be slid over a prepared mandrel or cylinder to create straight or tapered tubing.

The sleeve can be increased from a base diameter up to 30% and decreased by 70%. This means that our 2-inch sleeve can be used in a single application ranging from 0.6" to 2.6" in diameter.

Braided sleeve is seamless, so it withstands internal pressure, distributes the load more evenly, and tolerates damage and fatigue. When the product is pressurized, it works much like a shark's body, orienting to the direction of force. If a puncture in the finished product does occur, the sleeve provides a slow, controlled failure, rather than a more damaging and potentially dangerous rupture.

Laying up sleeve is predictable, repeatable, and suitable for precise manufacture of composite parts. It is extremely resistant to cracks between layers, reducing the possibility of delaminating and increasing the strength of the product.

Use with epoxy, polyester, or vinyl ester resin systems. Sleeve matches the 2x2 twill weave pattern of #1094 fabric.

With the Fibre Glast commitment, you can expect the same finish, sizing, and handling characteristics every time you order this sleeve.

 

Why Choose the 2" Braided Fiberglass Biaxial Sleeve?

Biaxial sleeve is braided, rather than woven, and features cosmetics much like the 2x2 twill weave pattern. Sleeves have been designed to be biaxial, meaning that they have properties that allow them to be strong and stiff in two directions. These sleeves are typically used to reinforce or strengthen other materials, and are often used in the construction of aircraft, auto, and other high-performance structures where lightweight and high strength are important. They can also be used to repair damaged or weakened parts, or to improve the performance of existing structures by adding additional strength and stiffness.

What Are the Best Applications for the 2" Braided Fiberglass Biaxial Sleeve?

Customer applications include reinforcing the palm grip on bamboo Stand-Up Paddleboard and canoe paddles, strengthening the paddles significantly at their most vulnerable point.

How Should the 2" Braided Fiberglass Biaxial Sleeve Be Used for Best Results?

Use squeegees and rollers to ensure complete wet-out and remove trapped air.

Available as cut-to-length yardage (#2610, min 10 yd), 1-yard roll (#2610-A), 3-yard roll (#2610-B), and 5-yard roll (#2610-C).
