Spacer fabrics
Parabeam 3D fabrics consist of two fabric layers of e-glass held apart at a distance of 3.5-22 mm by spacer threads.
After impregnation with resin they expand to the specified depth without additional materials. This makes it very easy to produce sandwich laminates.
- Simple processing
- Good draping in complex moulds
- Easy to produce lips, but no accurate cutting and chamfering of edges as required with foam.
- Simple transfer of force: component edges and force transmission points are easily pressed together into a solid laminate using an auxiliary mould.
- No vacuum or additional adhesive resin required
- The hollow spaces in the spacer fabric laminate can be filled with media, making it very easy to produce heatable moulds.
