Composition of woven roving


It is a type of fiberglass cloth. This material is produced by interlacing direct rovings on looms, forming a fabric with warp and weft at 90-degree angles. The fiberglass used can be E or S type, and the weight per area varies greatly, from 200 to 1600 g/m², with widths ranging from 50 to 1500 mm.


Fiberglass fabrics have excellent tensile strength while keeping the overall weight of the composite structure to a minimum, making fiberglass fabrics particularly advantageous in applications requiring a lightweight yet strong material.


They feature high chemical resistance, a property that makes them suitable for applications requiring exposure to corrosive substances, maintaining structural integrity and extending the life of the composite.


Their interwoven weave structure effectively disperses and absorbs energy, making them highly resistant to sudden impacts or external forces. IMATE Composites' advanced manufacturing processes and quality control measures ensure that the composition and structural integrity of each roll of woven roving remains consistent, with unparalleled uniformity in fiber distribution and thickness.


IMATE Composites products are manufactured using a precise, controlled process that ensures that each woven roll contains a high concentration of premium glass fibers, resulting in superior reinforcement and enhanced mechanical properties.

Industrial applications


It is widely used in various industrial applications due to its structure and properties. The following are some examples of its use:



  • Pipe and tank manufacturing: It is used in manual and robotic rolling processes for pipe and tank manufacturing, especially in the chemical and storage industry.

  • Marine and sports industry: It is common in the manufacture of boats and surfboards, where high strength and dimensional stability are required.

  • Construction industry: It is used in the manufacture of plates for trailers and other structural components that need reinforcement.

  • Pultrusion: Although it is not the most common reinforcement material in pultrusion, it can be used in this process to obtain profiles with specific properties.
