Bi-Axial X-Ply Orange Thickness 3.5 mil Width 1.50m p-m Loftsails LS010060075

Description:

This Bi-Axial X-Ply laminate is a sailmaking reinforcement material designed for high-performance wings and sails. Constructed from a bi-axial cross-ply of high-tenacity filaments embedded in a clear polyester film, it provides excellent dimensional stability and tear resistance while remaining lightweight. At 3.5 mil thickness and a 1.50 m width, the material balances stiffness and flexibility to retain precise sail shape under load and reduce flutter. The vivid orange color improves visibility during handling and maintenance. Engineered for repeated high-load cycles, it ensures long-term durability and predictable stretch characteristics, helping maintain performance across a wide range of wind conditions. This ply is compatible with standard sailmaking adhesives, reinforcements and sewing techniques used in wings, race sails and performance boards.

Key Features:

• Bi-axial X-ply composite construction for multi-directional load distribution and low stretch
• 3.5 mil thickness offers a balance of stiffness and flexibility for shape retention
• 1.50 m width suitable for large panels and full-length reinforcements
• High tear and puncture resistance for improved longevity in demanding use
• Lightweight design minimizes added mass while maintaining strength
• Good UV and weather resistance when laminated into sail assemblies
• Bright orange color for improved workshop visibility and identification
• Compatible with Loftsails designs including Purelip, Wavescape, Oxygen, Switchblade, Skyscape, Speedblade, Racingblade, BladeFR, Raceboardblade and Raceboardblade LW
• Easy to bond and sew into existing sail constructions with conventional sailmaking adhesives and techniques
