With such characteristics as light weight and high strength, aramid and carbon cloth are widely used.

Aramid cloth makes the most of such characteristics as light weight and high strength to display its excellent abilities in a wide range of areas, including sports, leisure, and aerospace applications. In addition, as reinforcements for concrete structures, it is used in a wider range of new areas.

Quadraxial braided cloth

This cloth is produced by arranging fiber yarns in four directions at angles of 0°, ±45°, and 90°, combining them in a grid-like fashion, and using an adhesive to join them without weaving.
It has the same features as chopped mats and cloth used for reinforcement fiber materials.

  • High strength
    Well-balanced high strength
  • Excellent torsional strength
    Excelling in torsional strength in planar bodies (panels and cylinders)
  • Excellent defoaming ability
    Impregnating resin well and excelling in defoaming ability
