| CDX Cruising Laminates |
|
The CDX (cross-direction X) cruise styles are designed to be an all purpose range of polyester cruise laminates. The off-angle fill fibres at 20° on either side of the weft provide support in the cross direction while the warp is reinforced with inserted polyester. When flocking a CDX sail the 20° angle fill fibres are less sensitive to repeated bend at the same spot.  A single film is used whilst the warp and fill fibres are still fully encapsulated for optimal durability and reduced water absorption. All adhesive layers include a mildew agent. Impact and flag flutter tests indicate good resistance to flex fatigue, impact, and fraying. The off-angle intersections of the 1000 denier fill fibres significantly increase tear resistance compared to the smaller denier parallel fill yarns found in a square scrim. The hand of the material is relatively soft and the black fill X provides a unique look. RADIAL CRUISING LAMINATE: CROSS DIRECTION X
