X.FIBER HIGH-DENSITY® Laminated Shims
The high-performance composite material
X.FIBER HIGH-DENSITY® is a laminated material designed by Daniel GASTEL. This composite material takes the form of a multitude of woven fibreglass sheets.
The sheets are interlinked by a thermosetting resin, the elaboration of which bestows on the resulting final material outstanding technical performances and excellent peelability.

Benefits of X.FIBER HIGH-DENSITY® peel shims
Lightness
It is an appropriate response to a requirement for lighter materials (to achieve greater autonomy or payload). X.FIBER HIGH-DENSITY® is, with INTERCOMPOSITE® and DUOPEEL®, one of the lightest of all our peeloff materials (up to six times lighter in weight than steels or brass!).
Material | Specific Weight | Weight-saving |
---|---|---|
X.FIBER HIGH-DENSITY® | 1,35 | - |
Stainless Steel | 8,2 | 6,07 x |
Brass | 8,5 | 6,3 x |
Robustness
In addition to being a lightweight product, X.FIBER HIGH-DENSITY® is also extremely robust. Indeed it is resistant to:
- very high compressive forces, without entanglement,
- aux attaques chimiques,
- chemical attacks,
- sea air.
Resistance
X.FIBER HIGH-DENSITY® mechanical properties remain unaffected by the rise in temperature. Thus this product can be exposed without damage to heat exceeding 932°F (500°C)
Rapidity
The sheets can be peeled by hand, without the need for tools of any kind. This composite material removes any risk of injury during the peeling operation.
Ingenuity and Economy
Once they have been peeled, the sheets remain fl at and free of deformation. They remain fully re-useable.
Anti-Fretting
X.FIBER HIGH-DENSITY® is a total barrier against the galvanic coupling caused by surface contact of different metallic alloys. No further surface treatment is required.
