Woven Roving

Last updated: September 16, 2017

What Does Woven Roving Mean?

A woven roving is a type of fabric material consisting of glass fibers that are woven in a specific pattern for the purpose of providing high strength when used to reinforce a coating or other composite system. This fabric becomes heavier as the interlacing between the various glass fibers are joined together during its production.

Woven roving fabrics are compatible with a wide range of resin systems.
