Application Of 3D Fiber Mat In Double-Wall Tank Lining Technology

 

What is a 3D Fiber Mat?

 

Glass fiber three-dimensional reinforcement material is a new composite material. It is a hollow fiber cloth made by weaving glass fiber yarn with a special loom to form the Z-direction fiber of the core (its typical spatial feature is that the core fiber presents an “8” shape along the warp direction, and the height of the “8” shape can be adjusted) to form an integrated hollow fiber cloth, and then it is shaped and cured after resin impregnation.

 

This material has good heat and sound insulation, peeling resistance, durability, integrity and damage tolerance, and has a series of advantages such as light material, high specific strength, high specific modulus, and corrosion resistance. This new type of composite material has broad application prospects in energy, storage tanks, ships, transportation, construction industry, aerospace and other fields.

 

 

Product Features:

 

1. Reduce Product Weight

Compared with chopped strand mat and glass fiber roving cloth, the weight of the product with the same thickness is calculated as 40/60 for the resin/glass fiber weight ratio. The composite material made of glass fiber three-dimensional reinforcement material can reduce the weight of the product by 30%-60%.

2. Save Labor And Time

The thickness is determined by the specifications of the glass fiber three-dimensional reinforcement material and is achieved at one time during the processing. It is not necessary to stack layer after layer and repeatedly apply resin, which greatly reduces the production and molding time of the product.

3. Superior And Reliable Performance

During the processing, the resin is evenly distributed, the impregnation is good, and the visual inspection is convenient. (You can check the visual light transmittance uniformity of the product to judge). The surface is smooth, the product has high strength and good rigidity. The core layer will not delaminate when impacted. At the same time, it has light weight, impact resistance, sound insulation, heat insulation, vibration reduction and energy absorption. In particular, the interlayer gap space can be used for the installation of leak detection probes.

4. Simple Molding

The molding and production of the product can be completed through simple and convenient operation.

5. Easy To Make Curved Shapes

Compared with other sandwich materials, the soft and flexible characteristics of 3D fabrics make it better fit the mold to make curved shapes.

6. Strong Designability

The organizational structure, thickness, density and fiber material of 3D three-dimensional fabrics are designed according to the performance requirements of the final use.
