1708 Knytex Tape DBM

KNYTEX contains two layers of non-woven roving stitched to a layer of 3/4 ounce mat. The two roving layers are laid flat on each other (not woven as in regular cloth). Knytex provides a much flatter finish and stronger laminate than would be a combination of cloth and mat. Knytex requires less resin, thus providing higher impact resistance and weight savings. Knytex also wets out much easier than other comparable weight products. The ultimate results of using Knytex are more glass reinforcement, greater strength and impact resistance, reduced weight, and cost TAP carries two types of Knytex: X-MAT (DBM 1208 & DBM 1708) has the two layers of roving oriented at plus and minus 45 degrees to the fabric’s direction. (Most fabrics orient the weave at 0 and 90 degrees.) This 45-degree pattern is ideal for tabbing and comer reinforcement since 100% of the fabric adds strength to the comer. X-mat is available in two weights: 19.3 oz/sq yd and 25.3 oz/sq yd.
