1708 is made up of 17 ounces of Strands ,stitched at a 45 degree angle, and 8 ounces of chopped strand mat backing. for a total of 25 ounces per square yard.

What is Biaxial Mat?

Biaxial Fabric is non-woven. It consists of two layers that are stitched together, and instead of laying the strands at a 90 degree angle, they are laying at a 45 degree angle to each other.

1708 is E-glass Biaxial (+/-45) with a 3/4 ounce chopped strand mat backing.

Using Biaxial fiberglass cloth means less resin is necessary.

It also gives you the ability to lay the fibers in the direction you want, and has excellent conforming qualities(it goes around corners well) .

The fabric and the mat work together to make a very strong end product.

Used where strong stiff and smooth laminate with equal strength in two directions is desired. Good wet out, and quick thickness build up. Excellent resin to reinforcement ratio.

this is the lowest price for first quality, factory fresh 1708 biaxial mat.

orders of up to 50 yds can be shipped UPS, larger orders will be shipped truck freight.

    1708 biaxial mat

    Posted by Cptn Bob Lindley on 14th Oct 2016

    The mat came rolled on a tube just as promised and wrapped exceptionally well. It arrived undamaged, on time. I used the material to do a deck hatch core repair and found the material easy to work with and a consistent quality throughout. Price was competitive. I was a pleasure to do business with a company that delivered everything they stated. i will definitely use this company in the future.

    Good Stuff

    Posted by Andrew on 23rd Aug 2016

    Thick and strong, but still workable enough to make a 90 degree turn. This stuff is thirsty, wetting the material and whatever you at placing it over is a must. There is no pushing resin through this material. Had a couple spots the first time I used it that I was a little light on resin at first when wetting the cloth, it didn't stick to the stringer on my boat very well. But give it plenty of juice and it lays down nice and smooth. Great Price too.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does 1708 mean in biaxial fiberglass cloth?

1708 refers to a biaxial fiberglass reinforcement fabric containing 17 ounces of stitched glass fibers oriented at approximately +45 and -45 degrees, combined with an 8-ounce chopped strand mat backing. This biaxial fiberglass fabric with mat provides substantial reinforcement for boat building, structural laminates, and composite repairs.

Which resin works with 1708 biaxial fiberglass cloth?

The appropriate resin for 1708 biaxial fiberglass cloth depends on the fabric's compatibility and project requirements. Polyester and epoxy resin systems are commonly used for biaxial cloth applications. Check the manufacturer's specifications before application to ensure proper wet-out, adhesion, and reliable composite performance.

What is the difference between 1708 biaxial cloth and regular fiberglass cloth?

1708 biaxial cloth features stitched fiberglass strands oriented in two diagonal directions, combined with a chopped strand mat backing. Regular woven fiberglass cloth has fibers arranged in a traditional weave. Biaxial fabric provides multidirectional reinforcement and faster thickness buildup for demanding boat-building and composite applications. A 1708 fiberglass cloth by-yard option can be useful when purchasing material for specific repair dimensions.

How much resin is needed for 1708 biaxial fiberglass cloth?

The resin required for 1708 biaxial fiberglass cloth depends on the fabric area, laminate design, resin system, and application technique. Because 1708 includes both biaxial reinforcement and mat backing, it requires sufficient resin for complete saturation. Follow the manufacturer's coverage guidance and avoid dry spots or excess resin.

How many layers of 1708 biaxial fiberglass cloth are needed for a boat repair?

The number of 1708 biaxial fiberglass cloth layers depends on the damaged area's location, structural loads, and required laminate thickness. Minor repairs may need fewer layers, while structural reinforcement can require additional material. A 50-inch-wide 1708 biaxial mat can help cover larger repair areas with fewer seams. Follow the boat manufacturer's specifications or consult a qualified marine composite professional.
