Non-fraying, non-shifting glass cloth.

Glass cloth with suppressed fraying during cutting, misalignment, and shifting during layering. Improved production efficiency and working environment can be expected.

Glass cloth is often used in applications such as cutting and laminating during molding processes. However, fraying at the edges of the cut cloth, misalignment between the layers of laminated cloth, and the potential for quality defects and scattered fiber debris can worsen the working environment. Currently, methods such as applying liquid resin during pre-treatment or laminating hot melt sheets are being used, but these processes are cumbersome. Additionally, since the resin adheres to the entire surface, there is a risk of hindering the permeability of the matrix resin. Nitto Boseki has developed a glass cloth (Glass Cloth DOT) that addresses the above issues, requiring no preparation in the molding process, preventing fraying during cutting, avoiding misalignment during laminating, and can be used directly for the molding of preforms. It is flexible and allows for good permeability of the matrix resin.
