Uni-Directional

• UNI, meaning one, all of the fibers are oriented in the same direction. This gives uni-directional (UD) fabric some high strength benefits.
• UNI fabric is not woven, there aren’t any interlacing fibers with crimping that can weaken the structure.
• One major drawback with UNI though is its workability. UNI tends to fall apart quite easily during the layup process since it has no interlaced fibers to hold it together.
