GracoRoberts supplies reinforcement fabrics for aerospace, defense, UAV, marine, and industrial composite manufacturing. These materials provide structural reinforcement in composite laminates and are used in wet layup, resin infusion, and resin transfer molding (RTM) processes where dry fabrics are combined with compatible resin systems.
Our portfolio includes woven fiberglass cloths, carbon fiber fabrics, and specialty reinforcement textiles from leading manufacturers, including Hexcel. Available in a range of weave styles, areal weights, and widths, these materials support structural, secondary, and specialty composite applications.
For pre-impregnated reinforcement materials, explore our prepregs page. For compatible resin systems used in wet layup and other composite manufacturing processes, explore our epoxy laminating resins and systems.
Woven fiberglass reinforcement fabrics are available in plain weave, satin weave, and specialty constructions for radomes, aircraft interiors, tooling, and secondary structural panels. Fiberglass offers electrical transparency, corrosion resistance, and cost efficiency for applications where carbon fiber properties are not required.
Products include HexForce 7781, 7500, 1581, and 112 fiberglass cloth styles in available finishes, including Volan and F16.
Carbon fiber reinforcement fabrics offer high stiffness and strength-to-weight performance for structural composite applications. Available in various weave styles, including plain and satin weaves, these fabrics are used in wet layup and resin infusion processes for airframes, fairings, and structural panels.
Aramid and hybrid reinforcement fabrics support applications requiring impact resistance, energy absorption, and vibration damping. These materials are used in aerospace interiors, nacelle components, protective structures, and other composite applications where toughness is an important performance consideration.
Specialty reinforcement fabrics include coated fiberglass and other technical textiles developed for specific thermal, mechanical, and processing requirements. Materials such as silicone-coated fiberglass fabrics support tooling, protective, and high-temperature applications.
Fibreglass fabrics provide the electrical transparency required for radome and antenna housing construction, with corrosion resistance and structural performance suited to airborne and ground-based installations.
Woven fibreglass cloths are used in interior panels, fairings, and secondary composite structures where weight savings, surface finish, and fire performance are primary requirements alongside structural integrity.
Fibreglass fabrics resist moisture and corrosion in marine composite construction, supporting hull, deck, and structural component manufacture in coastal and offshore environments.
Woven fibreglass cloths and specialty coated fabrics are used in composite tool fabrication, providing a stable, dimensionally consistent base for mould surfaces used in repeated production cycles.
Dry reinforcement fabrics are used in composite manufacturing processes such as hand layup, wet layup, resin infusion, and resin transfer molding.
Selecting the appropriate reinforcement fabric requires evaluating several factors:
GracoRoberts also offers kitting and converting services, including short roll formats and custom cutting options to help reduce material handling and waste.

Common reinforcement fabrics include woven fiberglass, carbon fiber, aramid, and hybrid textiles. Each material offers different mechanical and processing characteristics, making selection dependent on structural requirements, resin compatibility, and manufacturing methods.
GracoRoberts supplies HexForce woven fiberglass cloths from Hexcel, including styles 7781, 7500, 1581, 120, and 112. These materials support aerospace composite applications such as radomes, aircraft interiors, tooling, and secondary structural components.
Yes. We offer certificates on request, COA and COC, lot traceability, and shelf life management to support qualification and programme compliance.
Volan and F16 are fiberglass fabric finish designations associated with resin compatibility and processing performance. Hexcel identifies F16 as a Volan-based finish compatible with several resin systems, including structural epoxies.
The appropriate finish depends on the resin system, manufacturing requirements, and applicable material specifications.
Yes. GracoRoberts offers short roll composites services to support material requirements that may not call for full rolls. Custom cutting and converting options can help reduce excess inventory, material handling, and waste.
