FEATURES OF S-GLASS SHAPERS® FABRIC
Shapers® S-Glass is specially designed for the construction of surfboards.
Ultra light weight
Ultra light fabric that is also very durable.
Ease of use
Easy to impregnate and cut. Designed to lay flat with superior drapability.
High Clarity
The ultra clear finish produces super white surfboards and is also perfect for tinted resin projects.
Higher tensile strength
Improved mechanical properties for higher tensile strength than E-Glass.
Resistance to weight
Up to 50% more tensile strength compared to E-Glass.
Dependable performance
Up to 90% more resistant to compression compared to E-Glass
