Hi Forum..!

I need to process by hand layup Aramid Fabrics (Kevlar) with epoxy resin. How much resin the Kevlar will need to be wetted?

Kevlar Propiertes
360 g/m2
1500 Denier
0/90°

Epoxy
Laminating epoxy, low viscosity

Thanks!

For hand layup you generally aim for a 50/50 fiber/resin fraction. So if your fabric (doesn't matter if its fibreglass or carbon or Kevlar etc) is a 360gsm, then you will need 360g of resin for every square meter of fabric. Plus a little bit of wastage factor for resin in the bottom of your cup, in your brushes, etc.
