Triaxial net fabric Laid Scrims for sailing

Triaxial Construction for Multi-Directional Load Distribution​:The defining feature of this scrim is its three-yarn-direction architecture​ (typically 0°, +60°, -60° or similar). Unlike biaxial (0°/90°) scrims, the triaxial grid distributes tensile and shear forces in three axes simultaneously, closely matching the real-world loading patterns of a sail (luff-to-leech, foot-to-head, and diagonal bias). This results in superior shape retention, reduced bias stretch, and improved tear resistance​ compared to conventional woven or biaxial reinforcements.

High Strength with Ultra-Light Weight​:The triaxial laid scrim achieves significant reinforcement while adding minimal weight. Standard configurations range from 9–35 g/m²​ (e.g., CFT12×12×12PH at 9–10 g/m², CPT9×16×16PH at 30–35 g/m²). This allows sail makers to build laminates that are substantially lighter than densely woven sailcloth​ while meeting or exceeding tensile requirements, directly translating to faster boat acceleration and better upwind performance.

Superior Dimensional Stability & Environmental Resistance​:The chemically bonded, non-woven construction provides low shrinkage, low elongation, and excellent dimensional stability​ under load. Additionally, the glass or aramid fibers offer inherent alkali resistance, corrosion resistance, fire resistance, and moisture resistance​ — critical properties for marine environments where sails face saltwater, UV exposure, and repeated flexing.

Excellent Bonding Compatibility & Customizability​:The open mesh structure allows full bonding with almost any material​ (films, coatings, adhesives). It is highly customizable: roll width from 200 to 2500 mm, roll length up to 10,000 meters​ (reducing splices in continuous lamination), yarn options including glass, polyester, carbon, Kevlar, Nomex, and binder choices (PVOH, PVC, Acrylic, customized). Patterns can be tailored from 0.8 to 3 yarns/cm.
