Hello,

I want to buy the fiberglass fabrics you have but i have worked hard to find any mechanical properties for it and i have failed to do so, can you please help me figuring it out. I specifically wants to buy the Biaxial Glass Cloth 600g 1.27m Wide. I although want to compare it with the Carbon fiber 2x2 twill 200gsm and to make an analysis on both of them to make the best compromise between cost and weight. 

My second question is, is it okay to use un-symmetric materials around the core, for example, i am building a monocoque car chassis and i want to make a laminate of

200 gsm 2x2 carbon (0,90)
600 gsm Biaxial glass cloth (-45,+45)
Lantor soric (3mm)
600 gsm Biaxial glass cloth (0,90)

I am intending to make it by the resin infusion method but i have read multiple articles says that it's advisedto make the materials symmetrical around the core to avoid any distortions due to the different CTE.

I will be very thankful if you have told me if one layer of a 2x2 200gsm carbon fiber (0,90) is equivalent to ??? gsm Biaxial glass (0,90)

Regards,
I appreciate your help,
