Kush manufactures Uni-directional, biaxial and multiaxial fabrics through stitch-bonding of material made of unbent fibres with no elongation. Therefore these fabrics are also called Non – Crimp Fabrics or NCFs.

 
     
   
     
 

The NCFs enables to introduce the existing strength and properties of the fibre into the end product (fibreglass fabric). This leads to improved durability of the fabric when compared to the fabric such as woven fabrics.

Few advantages of using Multiaxial NCF in comparison with Chop Strand Mat (CSM) are:

  • It is possible to create exceptionally strong and lightweight laminate because multiaxial NCF have far better tensile and impact properties when compared to CSM. An impact of a force, on a CSM raptures the resin bond across the short fibre glass. Whereas an impact of a force, on a multiaxial fabric is scattered across the panel through Unidirectional fibres.
  • Although multiaxial fabrics are expensive when compares to CSM, they are far stronger then CSM and their strength makes it possible to reduce the amount of materials required to build a strong structure.
  • 2 : 1 fibre to resin consumption ratio of multiaxial fabrics leads to significantly lower consumption of resin when compared to CSM.
  • Multiaxial fabrics can be laid in weights up to 3000 g/mē, there by minimising the number of layers and reducing the labour cost.

Few advantages of multiaxial NCF in comparison with woven fabrics are:

  • Comparatively, multiaxial have far better tensile strength, and impact properties when compared to their woven counterpart. Multiaxial fabrics are stitch-bonded, and they conform better than woven fabrics.
  • Because they are stronger than woven fabrics, multiaxial fabrics can minimise the cost by reducing the requirement of the fabric to build a strong structure.
  • 2 : 1 fibre to resin consumption ratio of multiaxial fabrics leads to significantly lower consumption of resin when compared to woven fabrics.
  • Multiaxial fabrics can be laid in heavier weights, and this reduces the need for multiple layers in laminating, which in-turn leads to decrease in labour cost.
