Laminated sailcloth FLEX®

Looking for serious shape retention despite all sorts of loads? Then let’s talk about Dimension‑Polyant’s FLEX® Polyester. The line stands for „Fill Laminate Extra X“ and fits for racing as well as cruising sails. In interaction, strong fill and warp yarns form the foundation for all FLEX® compositions. Additional 20° and 30°„Double X“ patterns from the fill absorb the appearance of multiple loads. Thanks to its newly developed construction, our FLEX® is a multitalented load balancer that can handle strain in six different directions. Thus no wonder, this laminate is a shape retention king. FLEX® answers primary loads, off-angle loads in clew, head and tack areas, mid leech and luff. Additionally, it is also capable of absorbing dynamic loads occurring during sailing and enables excellent shape control. The good news is that FLEX® styles are crosscut. For this reason, the fabric is available in several fiber densities which can be combined in one sail. For users that leads to the great benefit of being able to compose a sail to the individually expected load situation whilst the firmly locked-up fiber matrix provides a reliably long performance life and superior durability.
