- HiMax® reinforcements offer several advantages over traditional fabric forms: Reinforcing fibers can be placed in different axis to optimize the performance of the finished laminate Avoidance of resin-rich areas means it is easy to achieve a higher weight fraction Non-crimped fibers give higher tensile and flexural properties in the finished laminate Reduced print-through - especially important on boat hulls and automotive applications Fabrics are easier to cut and handle as the stitching holds the material together Heavier combinations are possible, meaning higher deposition rates The straight uncrimped fibers allow good resin penetration and flow which is ideal for infusion and light-RTM, while the stitching aids resin migration through the layers (Z-direction) which is perfect for maximizing infusion rates
