More Book Details

Description of the Book:

Gentax Corporation’s triaxal fabrics are woven from three separate yarn sets whose intersections form equilateral triangles. This type of weave, derived from space shuttle pressure suits, assures practically equal strength in every direction; has essentially no bias, or weak dimension offering greater resistance to tear and shear along with significant weight reduction. Applications of the Triax line include inflatable equipment, life vests, aircraft evacuation slides, helicopter flotation devices, tension structures, safety clothing and sailcloth for boats. Ability to accept compound curvatures with no distortion of the weave configuration makes it useful in manufacturing molded composites
