Green Reflections Veneer Sheet 2×2 Twill

To ensure maximum structural integrity and flatness throughout all our panels, we produce ‘balanced’ laminates for all panel thicknesses and sizes. This means that the fiber type, weight, and weave pattern are symmetrical throughout all layers of the composite stack. Symmetric Laminates: A laminate is symmetric when the plies above and below the mid-plane mirror one another. Symmetrical layups help prevent thermal twisting. Panels that are 1.4mm / 1/16’’ or thicker are quasi-isotropic laminates made with non-woven, no-crimp carbon fiber plies, oriented at 0º/90º/+45º/–45º. Quasi-isotropic ply orientation results in a most uniform distribution of strength and enhances both torsional and diagonal stiffness. Cross-plied layup will yield a panel with higher structural integrity, which many applications may require. Laminate stacking and ply orientation can be adjusted for specific applications; for example, if you require greater panel strength in a particular direction, you want to avoid increasing the weight with additional plies. The detailed lay-ups and fabric stack list can be requested for each of our panels. Please specify the panel model number when inquiring. Epoxy: All panels are made with a high-performance epoxy resin that offers excellent mechanical functions, clarity, and improved UV stability. An elevated post-cure temperature is applied to increase the mechanical strength of the panel, resulting in a higher Tg and enhancing the inter-laminar shear strength.

Our panels are NOT clear coated or UV Protected. To ensure the panel's longevity, we highly recommend that you apply a clear coat with UV Protection to the surfaces of panels that may be exposed to sunlight, such as DURATEC SUNSHIELD.
