Gernitex biaxial spread tow fabrics provide reinforcement in two main directions. They are woven from technical fibers such as carbon fibers, aramid fibers, flax fibers or from a mix thereof. Biaxial spread tow fabrics have practically straight fibers which results in a greater stiffness and a greater strength in compression due to reduced fiber buckling. Those low crimp rate fabrics enable a higher fiber-to-resin volume ratio in composite parts.

Applications
Biaxial fabrics are particularly suited to provide torsional strength and rigidity. They can be used to produce wing skins. Other applications include skis, snowboards, surfboards, kayaks, cars and motorcycle parts, semi finished products such as plates and tubes.
