Fiberglass laminated shim
X-FIBER®
LAMECO
X.FIBER® is a laminated material, designed and patented by Daniel GASTEL.
This composite material comes in the form of woven fiber sheets, which can be manufactured in several different ways:
- glass, carbon, aramide, ceramic fibers or
- any combination of two or more of these different fibers.
The sheets are held together by a heat-hardened resin, the resulting material delivers both very high technical performance and excellent peelability.
ADVANTAGES
Lightness
When the demand is for lighter materials, X.FIBER® proves itself by far the lightest of laminated materials (5 1/2 times lighter than steel!).
Strength
Being both lighter and stronger, it can be used to great advantage as a replacement for carbon and stainless steels..
Endurance
It is comparable with laminated metals, and can be used to replace INTERCOMPOSITE® in use at temperatures above 266°F (130°C).
Its mechanical properties remain unaffected by the rise in temperature.
Rapidity
The sheets can be peeled by hand, without the need for tools of any kind.
Ingenuity and Economy
Once they have been peeled, the sheets remain flat and free of deformation. They remain fully re-useable.
