Parabeam® 3D Glass Fabric is a fabric woven out of a 100% E-glass yarn and consists of two decklayers bonded together by vertical piles in a sandwich structure. These piles are woven into the decklayers thus forming an integral sandwich structure.
When the Parabeam® is impregnated with a thermoset resin, the fabric absorbs the resin and due to the capillary forces of the piles, the fabric rises to the preset height.
In this one-step process a lightweight and strong sandwich laminate is formed that offers excellent mechanical properties.
Parabeam® can be used for many applications in the composite industry while offering multiple advantages against traditional sandwiches and solid laminates such as woods, foams, balsa, honeycombs and more.
