Specializing in non-woven flexible composites, Cubic Tech uses proprietary manufacturing techniques to produce laminates that maximize translation of fiber properties, while minimizing weight. Customizable ply orientations afford directional stability and strength, as well as high rip-stop. A broad selection of films adds the flexibility of an array of properties including toughness, low gas permeability, and visible & UV light protection to name a few.
The trade name of Cubic Tech’s material is Cuben Fiber. Sailmakers wishing to purchase high performance Cuben Fiber sail fabrics must contact North Sails:
