Bi-Axial X-Ply White Thickness 5.0 mil Width 1.50m p-m Loftsails LS010060100

Description:

The Bi-Axial X-Ply White (5.0 mil, 1.50 m) is a high-performance laminated sail material engineered for demanding kite, wing and sail applications. Constructed from a bi-axial X‑ply reinforcement embedded in a durable polyester/Mylar laminate, it delivers excellent dimensional stability with very low stretch across both principal load axes. At 5.0 mil (≈0.127 mm) thickness the film balances lightweight performance with robust tear resistance, keeping aero shapes crisp while resisting blowouts and fatigue. This X‑ply layup improves load distribution and reduces localized stress, producing more predictable handling and better sustained shape under high loads — an advantage for racing and high-load freestyle use. The clean white finish offers good UV reflectivity and a professional appearance, and the material is compatible with standard sailmaking repairs and construction techniques. Commonly used by Loftsails in designs such as the Airscape, Switchblade and Racingblade (2018), it is ideal for builders and technicians who demand consistent, race‑grade film for panels and reinforcements.

Key Features:

• Bi‑axial X‑ply reinforcement for excellent biaxial strength and low stretch
• 5.0 mil (≈0.127 mm) laminated thickness: performance-oriented balance of weight and durability
• Engineered for sustained shape retention under high loading — improves handling and efficiency
• Tear‑resistant laminate that resists propagation and fatigue in critical panels
• Smooth white finish for UV reflectivity and professional aesthetics
• Compatible with standard sailmaking adhesives, stitching and reinforcement patches
• Used in Loftsails Airscape, Switchblade and Racingblade 2018 models — proven in performance sails
• Wide 1.50 m roll width for efficient panel layout and fewer seams
• Lightweight construction that contributes to responsive, low‑inertia aerodynamics

Recommended Use:

This material is ideal for sailmakers, professional repairers and advanced riders building or repairing kites, wings and performance sails where low stretch and precise shape-holding are critical. Best suited to high-load applications such as racing foils, performance kites and aggressive freeride gear, and it performs well in a wide range of wind conditions from moderate to strong. For best results pair with appropriate Dacron reinforcements, high-quality adhesives and standard sailmaking hardware; consult Loftsails’ construction specs when integrating into specific models.
