Pinayarn Woven Fabric Twill 3.5oz x 30"

Piñayarn is an innovative and low impact yarn, made from waste pineapple leaves. The leaf fibres used to create Piñayarn are an agricultural waste product, which means that no extra land, water or pesticides are required to produce the raw material.

This is first fabric woven with Piñayarn which is specifically for surfboard lamination and other lightweight composite applications.

Pineapple Cloth provides high levels of performance, coupled with the ease of processing normally associated with glass-reinforced materials. The materials use low-twist technology to provide a combination of sustainability, performance and processability not previously seen in composites. Compared to glass fibre composites, Our Flax Cloth offers reduced weight, improved environmental impact, vibration damping, similar specific stiffness and safer handling.

Typical processes for Pineapple Cloth include Hand lamintion, vacuum infusion or resin transfer moulding using either standard resins or bio-based resins. The fabrics can also be pre-pregged, and processing is carried out in the same way as Fibreglass cloth.  Most Surfboard manufacturers put a layer of Eglass over the top for sanding purposes as it you hit the cloth it will change colour and fluff up.
