ARAMID LAMINATED SAILS MARKET
Aramid Laminated Sails (Membrane) Membrane sails are made by laminating various layers together to form the sail. These sails are not cut into pieces because the are made in one piece. The choices fall into what the layers are made of.
These sails are made by laminating various membranes and layers together to form a sail comprised of a single piece. There are no panels involved in the construction. Instead, fibers are run along the stressed load lines of the sail to evenly distribute the forces placed on them. These sails will never stretch.
Aramid sailcloth is usually made from para-aramids, like Kevlar, Twaron, and Technora. Kevlar, Twaron, and Technora, while all broadly similar, have slightly different characteristics, meaning that application of the sailcloth can be a deciding factor in which para-aramid to choose.
Even each brand of para-aramid has sub-types, with different characteristics like their tensile moduli. This means that aramid sails often use and are advertised with specific a variety of para-aramid sub-types, depending on their use cases.
Aramids’ long-term resistance to stretching is a valued quality when it comes to sailing. In practical terms, an aramid sail could last twice as long as an equivalent sail made of more basic materials, with a much smaller price difference.
The Global aramid laminated sails Market accounted for $XX Billion in 2023 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2024 to 2030.
Sailing-laminate X301 aramide X-Ply – High-tech sailing laminate with an interesting look from Dimension Polyant. Between two transparent films, yellow X-Ply made of aramid is laminated to the longitudinal black polyester fibers.
The result is a laminate with low stretch, extremely high tear strength and dimension stability. In sailing, this has the advantage that the sail can be subjected to extreme tension in any direction without stretching.
But we also offer it because it is very suitable for bags, backpacks or other MYOG projects as a material with a special look, for example, as a viewing window, attachment and the like. The laminate does not absorb moisture. Compared to many other sail laminates, they are not so stiff.
