Tri-Axial X-ply Black Thickness 5.0 mil Width 1.37m p-m Loftsails LS010060101
SKU: LS010060101

Description:

Tri-Axial X-ply is a high-performance sailcloth laminate engineered for demanding sail applications and repairs. Constructed from a tri-axial reinforcement pattern embedded in a durable polyester/Mylar film, this black X-ply delivers excellent load distribution and dimensional stability under repeated stress. At 5.0 mil thickness and a 1.37 m working width, it balances strength and weight for use in performance sail panels, reefing patches, and custom sail components. The tri-axial fiber orientation resists stretch in multiple directions, improving shape retention and reducing sail deformation over time. Its rugged face film offers abrasion and UV resistance for extended service life, while the laminate construction bonds cleanly with common sail tapes and adhesives for straightforward integration. Ideal for sailmakers, rigger workshops, and serious sailors looking for a reliable, low-stretch material for high-load areas.

Key Features:

• Tri-axial X-ply laminate for multi-directional load control and superior shape retention
• 5.0 mil thickness provides a balance of strength and manageable weight
• 1.37 m working width suited to sail panels, patches, and splicing applications
• Reinforced polyester yarns bonded in a Mylar-style film for low stretch and high tear resistance
• Black weather-resistant face film for UV protection and abrasion resistance
• Compatible with common sailmaking adhesives, tapes, webbing, and reinforcement patches
• Clean-cut, easy-to-sew edges for accurate panel construction and repairs
• Durable under repeated flexing and loading—reduces long-term sail deformation
• Suitable for both custom builds and in-field repairs by riggers and sailmakers
