The eight harness satin weave Is one of the most widely used weave style used in the composites industry due to its ease of use and weave style’s structural integrity. This style fabric is one of the easiest fabrics to use and it is ideal for laying up toolings that are curve, contoured and sharp angled. It is also well suited for obliqued and obtuse angles (angels more than 90° but less than 180°), high definition surfaces and for flat surface that requires minimal fabric weave print through.
This fabric weave can be cut into narrower widths with ease using an X-acto bladed with minimal fraying, distortions or wrinkling.
Note the pliability of the fabric as it is used as a 90° angle corner with excellent conformity and fabric drape.

VOLAN F3 TREATED
Heat cleaned fabric is saturated in a methacrylate chromic chloride solution, cured, and washed to remove any soluble salts.
Both F-16 and F-3 are Volan type finishes with F-3 being a highest chrome content version.
Used with polyesters, phenolics, and epoxies, F-16 and F-3 fabrics make a light green laminate.
