  Aluminized Glass Fabric

View the video on how to make a Barracuda composite part below:


You've never seen metal move quite like this!

By "this" we're referring to Barracuda™ - BGF's new aluminized glass fabric.  Simply put, Barracuda is like moldable steel.  It boasts the look of metal with the functionality of traditional high performance fabrics.  A marriage of style and function, this classy fabric is poised to revolutionize products that demand aesthetic appeal and strength - everything from sporting goods to luggage, motorcycle helmets to kitchen appliances, dashboards to umbrella shafts - and we're coming up with new applications every day.

The distinctive appearance of Barracuda is achieved through a unique finishing process designed specifically for composite applications.  When combined with the proper resin, products made with Barracuda emulate the silver sheen of 3-D steel.  But good looks are only half the story.  Beneath the surface, Barracuda offers the same high-performance characteristics of traditional fiberglass fabrics:  it's strong, durable, lightweight and easily moldable.

One new fabric.  A legacy of innovation.

The product of extensive research and development by our expert chemists and technicians, you can see Barracuda's unique look and texture and realize that it is a material unlike anything else on the market today.
