                                  THE COMPANY

     The Company, which prior to fiscal year 1995 was a development stage
company, designs, develops, fabricates and sells fiber-reinforced thermoplastic
polymer composite materials ("Quadrax Composites") and products manufactured
from Quadrax Composites.  Quadrax Composites are synthetic materials made using
patented and other proprietary, as well as non-proprietary, chemical processes
and manufacturing technologies.  Management believes that Quadrax Composites
are functionally superior to other structural substrates for most applications
in which abrasion resistance and extreme heat tolerance are not critical. 
Quadrax Composites' functional advantages include high strength-to-weigth
ratios, chemical stability in a variety of ambient conditions (imperviousness
to rust, rot or reaction with most commonly used chemical solvents), ease and
safety of manufacture using modified conventional heat and compression molding
techniques, virtually unlimited shelf life without special storage or handling
requirements, and recyclablity.

     The Company commenced limited commercial production in mid-1993.  Although
the Company historically was dedicated to the formatting of composite materials
for defense and aerospace markets, it began redirecting its business in 1994
and 1995 to focus on commercial and consumer markets for value-added, high-
performance products.  The Company's independent accountants, Livingston &
Haynes, P.C., included a "going concern" qualification in their report on the
Company's financial statements for fiscal 1995, as they did for fiscal 1994
(the period from January 3, 1994 to December 31, 1994), reflecting the
Company's history of losses and its continuing dependence on financing
activities to provide the cash needed to meet its expenses.  

     The Company is organized in a holding company structure, operating through
two wholly owned subsidiaries: Quadrax Advanced Materials Systems, Inc. and
Lion Golf of Oregon, Inc. ("Lion Golf").  It also wholly owns and operates
Quadrax Sports, Inc. as a marketing company.   

     The Company was incorporated under the laws of Delaware in March 1986. 
Its principal executive offices are located at 300 High Point Avenue,
Portsmouth, Rhode Island 02871, and its telephone number is (401) 683-6600.




RISK FACTORS

     In addition to the other information in this Prospectus, the following
risk factors should be considered carefully in evaluating the Company and its
business before purchasing any of the shares of Common Stock offered hereby.

Operating Losses; Limited Revenues; Going Concern Qualification

     Quadrax Corporation has not achieved profitability in any fiscal quarter
since its incorporation in March 1986.  From incorporation through December 31,
1995, the Company incurred a cumulative net loss from continuing operations of
approximately $53,089,000.  During the fiscal years 1995, 1994, 1993 and 1992,
the Company incurred net losses from continuing operations of approximately
$8,998,000, $11,517,000, $5,713,000 and $7,266,000, respectively.

     The Company has generated only limited revenue to date.  In particular,
Quadrax has recently redirected its development and marketing efforts from
aerospace and defense markets to consumer markets and commenced limited
production for these markets in mid-1993.  During fiscal years 1995, 1994, 1993
and 1992, the Company's total revenue was approximately $4,635,000, $860,000,
$1,555,000 and $850,000 respectively.  There can be no assurance that sales of
the Company's products will generate significant revenue in the future. 
Consequently, thee can be no assurance that the Company will achieve or sustain
profitability in the future.  The future operating results of the Company will
depend on its ability to develop and market new products in the commercial
markets.  The Company's independent accountants have included a "going concern"
qualification in their reports on the Company's financial statements for fiscal
1995 and 1994, reflecting the Company's history of losses as a development
stage company and its continuing dependence on financing activities to provide
the cash needed to meet its expenses.  Under the Company's current business
plan, management believes that the Company's revenues and earnings will be
sufficient to make the going concern qualification unnecessary by December 31,
1996, although there can be no assurance that such qualification will in fact
be unnecessary by that date. 

Dependence on New Products

     The Company historically has marketed its products to the U.S. Government. 
The Company began to apply its technology in consumer markets in 1993, and
since that time has taken a number of actions aimed at entering the sporting
goods and athletic equipment market.  The Company has only commenced limited
commercial production of consumer products and therefore has not yet had an
opportunity to fully determine the extent to which Quadrax Composites can be
successfully applied to the development and production of consumer products. 
While management believes that Quadrax Composites are functionally superior to
other structural substrates for many commercial applications, any failure of
Quadrax Composites to perform to standards anticipated by the Company would
have a material adverse affect on the Company's operations and financial
condition.

     Although the Company has entered into several joint development and
exclusive manufacturing contracts to sell goods in the consumer sporting goods
market, the contracts are contingent on the Company being able to meet
contractual specifications in a timely manner and there can be no assurance
that the Company will be able to do so in the future.  A delay in the
successful development, completion or production of any of the Company's
sporting good products may result in the cancellation of existing contracts and
prevent the Company from entering into additional contracts.  This would have
material adverse effect on the Company's operations and financial condition.

     In addition, selling Quadrax Composites and products manufactured from
Quadrax Composites to consumer and commercial markets, the Company faces
significant institutional resistance to working with new materials and products
and to investing in the re-tooling needed to integrate these materials and
products into existing production and product lines.  Successful entrance into
new markets will require substantial investments by the Company in fabrication
and marketing of Quadrax Composites and in the design, development, fabrication
and marketing of products manufactured from Quadrax Composites.  There can be
no assurance that the Company will be able to overcome such institutional
resistance or that it will have sufficient resources to make the necessary
investments in its new products. 

Capital Requirements

     The Company has not achieved profitability in any fiscal quarter and has
been required to raise substantial amounts of capital in order to support its
on-going development activities.  As the Company continues to focus on consumer
markets and progresses from the development of prototypes of products
manufactured from Quadrax Composites to the production of finished goods, it
will continue to be dependent on outside financing sources.

     From its incorporation in March 1986 through December 31, 1995, Quadrax
raised a total of $37.9 million in equity capital.  The Company raised
approximately $5.9 million of equity capital in fiscal 1994 and an additional
$7.3 million through sales of stock and convertible debt during fiscal 1995. 
Management estimates that its capital needs for the fiscal year 1996 will be
between $2-10 million, subject to new product development programs,
acquisitions, and the expansion of sales and marketing programs.  The Company
is seeking alternative sources of public and private equity financing to meet
its needs.  While management believes that the funds raised to date, together
with cash provided by revenues, will be sufficient to meet the Company's cash
requirements for fiscal 1996, there can be no assurance that such funds, if
raised, will meet its cash requirements.  If the Company is unable to meet its
cash requirements, it may be required to defer for a period of time, or
indefinitely, the design, development, fabrication and marketing of new
products and the marketing of existing products and materials in new markets.

     In addition, the Company's capital requirements may increase materially
from those now planned depending on numerous factors, including the level of
its research and development expenses, the rate of market acceptance of the
Company's products, and the success of the Company's sales, marketing and
distribution strategy.  There can be no assurance that the Company will be
successful in raising such additional capital.
     
Limited Production and Sales Experience

     Quadrax has limited experience producing Quadrax Composites and
fabricating finished products and components made from Quadrax Composites.  The
Company has delivered significant quantities of Quadrax Composites for
evaluation and testing, but has completed only one production contract to date,
for a subcontractor to the Department of the Navy, which it completed at a
substantial loss.  Quadrax is currently performing several production
contracts, including one contract under which composite tape fabrication is
being performed at a third party's facility.  While management believes that
significant technological barriers to full scale production have been overcome,
thee can be no assurance that significant unforeseen difficulties will not be
encountered at commercial production levels. 

     Prior to 1994, Quadrax concentrated almost all its product marketing and
customer calling efforts on the sale of materials within the defense
contracting community.  Efforts to move into consumer applications were limited
to attendance at trade shows sponsored by various members of the plastics and
advanced materials industries.  The Company currently has only a small sales
and marketing force.  While initial efforts have been successful, there can be
no assurance that these successes can be duplicated and expanded upon to the
extent necessary for Quadrax to achieve a profitable level of operation. 

SEC Inquiry

     The Company is involved in an ongoing, informal investigation being
conducted by the Staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission.  The
following discussion is based on the information learned by the Company as a
result of its involvement in the Commission's activities.  There may be other
significant information regarding these matters of which the Company is, at
this time, not aware.

     The inquiry, being conducted by the Commission's Denver office, is
believed to have as its principal focus, insofar as it relates to the Company,
activities by the Company's former Chairman of the Board involving certain
transactions in the Company's stock and certain expenditures of Company funds,
during his term as Chairman, from July 1994 through February 1995. 

     The Company has cooperated fully with the inquiry described above,
providing documents and other information in response to the Staff's requests. 
At this time, the Company does not know what conclusions the Staff will reach
or what action, if any, the Staff will recommend to the Commission upon the
termination of the  inquiry.

Competition

     Quadrax Composites compete with conventional materials (including wood,
stone, steel and aluminum), less common metals (such as titanium), and
thermoset (epoxy-based) composites.  While Quadrax Composites offer several
advantages over competing materials, they are also more expensive.  In
addition, Quadrax Composites also suffer from institutional resistance to
working with new materials and investing in the re-tooling needed to integrate
Quadrax Composites into existing product and production lines. 

     The Company faces competition from three of the world's largest
multinational chemical companies-E.I. du Pont de Nemours & Co., Imperial
Chemical Industries PLC and Saint Gobain, S.A.-each of which develops composite
product offerings that may compete with the Company's product offerings.  In
addition, the Company faces potential competition from new companies as well as
from established companies that may migrate from related industries.  Many of
the Company's current and prospective competitors, including E.I. de Pont de
Nemours & Co., Imperial Chemical Industries PLC and Saint Gobain, S.A., have
significantly greater financial, manufacturing and marketing resources than the
Company.  There can be no assurance that the Company's products will compete
effectively with products offered by established and new competitors of the
Company.

     Competition in the sporting goods and athletic equipment market is
intense.  The industry consists primarily of major domestic and international
companies that have financial, technical, marketing, sales, manufacturing,
distribution and other resources substantially greater than those of the
Company.  Many of the Company's competitors in this industry have entrenched
market positions and established trade names, trademarks and other intellectual
property rights.  There can be no assurance that the Company's competitors in
this industry will not devote their significantly greater financial, technical,
marketing and other resources to develop and market sporting goods and athletic
equipment more aggressively than the Company.

     In general, management believes it can compete effectively by offering
products with superior performance characteristics to products offered by other
suppliers, at prices substantially equivalent to those charged by other
suppliers.  The Company believes that the success of its efforts will depend on
a variety of elements both within and outside its control, including the
success and timing of new product development and introduction by the Company
and its competitors, product performance and price, distribution, and customer
support.  There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to compete
successfully with respect to these factors.  Although management believes that
it has certain technological advantages over its competitors, maintaining such
advantages will require continued investment by the Company in design and
development, sales and marketing, and customer service and support.  There can
be no assurance that the Company will have sufficient resources to make such
investments or that the Company will be able to make the technological advances
necessary to maintain its competitive advantages.  In addition, as the Company
enters new markets, distribution channels, technical requirements and levels
and bases of competition may be different than those in the Company's current
markets and there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to compete
favorably. 

Patents and Proprietary Technologies

     The Company currently holds patents on its Quadrax Biaxial Tape materials
formats and on certain aspects of tennis racquets manufactured from Quadrax
aXial Tape.  The Company either owns, licenses or has applied for patents on
certain aspects of the other technology underlying the Company's products.  The
Company's patents, patent rights and patent applications do not ensure a
competitive advantage to the Company, particularly inasmuch as several of the
patents are licensed on a non-exclusive basis.  No assurance can be given that
any issued or licensed patents will not be designed around, infringed or
successfully challenged by others, or that the Company will have sufficient
resources to enforce any proprietary protection afforded by its patents. 
Furthermore, there can be no assurance that patents will issue with respect to
any pending patent application.  Moreover, various of the Company's actual and
potential competitors have obtained patents and could seek to enforce them
against the Company.  An infringement action, if brought, would be costly to
defend and there can be no assurance that the Company would prevail.  Failure
to obtain or to be able to enforce patent protection in favor of the Company,
or failure to defend successfully a patent infringement claim against the
Company, could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business.  In
addition, despite the Company's precautions to the contrary, there can be no
assurance that the trade secrecy protections which may be asserted by the
Company to protect other aspects of its intellectual property will not be
breached or will be enforceable.

Key Employees

     The Company's success depends to a significant extent upon a number of key
management and technical personnel, including James J. Palermo, the Company's
Chief Executive Officer.  Mr Palermo has signed an employment agreement with
the Company that is effective through December 1999.  The loss of the services
of a key employee could have a material adverse effect on the Company's
business and financial condition.  In addition, the Company's future success
will depend in part on its ability to attract and retain highly skilled
technical, managerial and marketing personnel.  Competition for such personnel
is intense, and there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful
in hiring or retaining the personnel it requires to continue to grow and
operate profitably.

Potential Dilution

     Quadrax has a complex capital structure that includes a number of classes
of outstanding warrants and options to purchase Common Stock.  If all of the
warrants and options having exercise prices less than the reported last sale
price of the Common Stock on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market on April 30, 1996 were
to be exercised, an aggregate of 1,648,039 shares of Common Stock would be
issuable for a total of $1,724,000, resulting in a reduction in the percentage
of voting rights and interest in profits represented by a share of Common
Stock.

     In addition, the Company is authorized to issue up to a total of
90,000,000 shares of Common Stock, of which fewer than 22,000,000 shares are
outstanding as of the date hereof.  Issuance of a significant number of
additional shares of Common Stock would result in a substantial reduction in
the percentage of voting rights and interests in profits currently represented
by a share of Common Stock.

Technological Obsolescence

     The structural composites market in which Quadrax competes is
characterized by rapid technological development.  There can be no assurance
that Quadrax's products will not be rendered obsolete or that Quadrax will be
successful in developing new products to meet changing market needs. 

Product Liability

     Sales of Quadrax Composites and parts manufactured therefrom may expose
the Company to liability for substantial damages in the event of accident or
injury shown to have been caused by defective materials.  Management believes
that its limited product liability insurance is currently adequate, but no
assurance can be given that such insurance is sufficient in scope and amount to
cover any and all damages that are incurred in the future.  Further, the
Company expects that it will be necessary for the Company to increase its
product liability insurance coverage as shipments to commercial markets
increase, and there can be no assurance that such coverage will be available
or, if available, that it will be available on terms that are economically
acceptable to the Company.

Volatility of Stock Price; Depressive Effective of Future Sales of Common Stock

     The trading price of the Common Stock has been subject to wide
fluctuations for a number of reasons, including the financial difficulties and
subsequent cessation in 1991 of market-making activities by its former
principal market maker and changes in control of the Company in 1994 and 1995. 
In addition, the stock market has from time to time experienced extreme price
and volume fluctuations that particularly affected the market price for many
technology companies and that often have been unrelated to operating
performance of these companies.  These broad market fluctuations may adversely
affect the market price of the Common Stock.  In addition, future sales by the
Company of newly issued Common Stock (or securities convertible into or
exchangeable for Common Stock) in the public market could place downward
pressure on the market price of the Common Stock. 


Possible Delisting of Common Stock from Nasdaq SmallCap Market

     The Common Stock is listed on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market.  Listing on the
Nasdaq SmallCap Market permits a company's securities to be quoted over the
automated electronic quotation system maintained by the National Association of
Securities Dealers, Inc., which makes current quotations of an issuer's
securities available to brokers and dealers nationwide.  The requirements for
continued listing of common stock on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market include (i) the
presence of at least two registered and active market makers for the stock,
(ii) total assets of the issuer of at lease $2,000,000, (iii) total capital and
surplus of the issuer of at least  $1,000,000, (iv) a minimum bid price per
share of the stock of at least $1.00 (or, alternatively, $1,000,000 market
value of public float and $2,000,000 in total capital and surplus), (v) the
existence of at least 300 record holders of the stock, and (vi) the existence
of at least 100,000 publicly-held shares of the stock.  The National
Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. also has discretionary power to delist
companies for other reasons in keeping with the integrity of the market system. 
Although the Company believes it is currently in compliance with each of these
requirements with respect to the Common Stock, and management is prepared to
take steps to assure continued compliance with the listing requirements for the
Nasdaq SmallCap Market, no assurance can be provided that management's efforts,
if required, would be successful or that the Common Stock will continue to be
listed on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market.

     If the Common Stock were to be delisted from the Nasdaq SmallCap Market,
current information regarding the bid and asked prices for the Common Stock
would become less readily available to brokers, dealers and their customers. 
As a result of the reduced availability of current information, it is likely
that there would be a reduction in the liquidity of the market for the Common
Stock which could, in turn, result in decreased demand for the Common Stock, a
decrease in the price of the Common Stock, and an increased spread between the
bid and asked prices for the Common Stock.  


                                USE OF PROCEEDS

     All proceeds from the sale of Shares offered hereby will be received by
the Selling Shareholders and not by the Company.  To the extent that any Shares
represent unexercised options, the Company will receive the exercise price
thereof.  Such proceeds, if any, will be used for general corporate purposes.





                             SELLING SHAREHOLDERS

     All of the Shares registered are to be offered for the account of the
following shareholders and their donees or pledgees (the "Selling
Shareholders").  The following sets forth certain information with respect to
the Selling Shareholders.  The Company has no knowledge of the intentions of

                             PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

     Any or all of the Shares may be sold from time to time directly to
purchasers by the Selling Shareholders.  The sale of the Shares by the Selling
Shareholders may be effected from time to time in transactions (which may
include block transactions) in the NASDAQ market, in negotiated transactions,
or a combination of such methods of sale, at fixed prices which may be changed,
at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to such
prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices.  The Selling Shareholders may
effect such transactions by selling shares to or through broker-dealers, and
such broker-dealers may receive compensation in the form of underwriting
discounts, concessions or commissions from the Selling Shareholder and/or the
purchasers of Shares for whom such broker-dealers may act as agent or to whom
they sell as principal, or both (which compensation as to a particular broker-
dealer might be in excess of customary commissions).  Selling Shareholders may
also make sales from time to time pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities
Act, if such Rule is otherwise available to such particular Selling
Shareholder.

     The Selling Shareholders and any broker-dealers that act in connection
with the sale of the Shares hereunder might be deemed to be "underwriters"
within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act, and any discounts,
concessions or commissions received by them and any profit on the resale of
Shares as principal might be deemed to be underwriting discounts and
commissions under the Securities Act.

     At the time a particular offer of Shares is made, to the extent required,
a supplement to this Prospectus will be distributed which will set forth the
terms of the offering, including the name or names of any underwriters, dealers
or agents, the purchase price paid by any underwriter for Shares purchased from
the Selling Shareholder and any discounts, concessions or commissions and other
items constituting compensation from the Selling Shareholder and any discounts,
concessions or commissions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers, including
the proposed selling price to the public.

     The Company is paying certain expenses (other than commissions and
discounts of underwriters, dealers or agents) incident to the offering and sale
for the Shares to the public, which are estimated to be approximately $5,000. 
If the Company is required to update this Prospectus during such period, it may
incur additional expenses in excess of the amount estimated above.

      In order to comply with certain states' securities laws, if applicable,
the Shares will be sold in such jurisdictions only through registered or
licensed brokers or dealers.  In certain states the Shares may not be sold
unless they have been registered or qualify for sale in such state or an
exemption from regulation or qualification is available and is complied with.

Item 6.  Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

    Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of Delaware (the "GCL")
authorizes and empowers the Company to indemnify the directors, officers,
employees and agents of the Company against liabilities incurred in connection
with, and related expenses resulting from, any claim or suit brought against
any such person as a result of his relationship with the Company, provided that
such persons acted in accordance with a stated standard of conduct  in
connection with the acts or events on which such claim, action or suit is
based.  The finding of either civil or criminal liability on the part of such
persons in connection with such acts or events in not necessarily determinative
of the questions of whether such persons have met the required standard of

indemnify its officers and directors to the fullest extent permitted by the
GCL, and permits the Company to indemnify other persons as it chooses, to the
same extent.  Such indemnity shall not extend to such persons, however, (i) for
any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the Company or its
stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve
intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) for actions
contravening Section 174 of the GCL (relating to unlawful dividend stock
purchases or stock redemptions), or (iv) for any transaction from which the
director derived an improper personal benefit.

Item 9.  Undertakings.

    The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that it will:

    (1)  To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:

         (i)   To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the
Securities Act of 1933;

         (ii)  To reflect in the Prospectus any facts or events arising after
the effective date of this                   Registration Statement ( or the
most recent post-            effective amendment thereof) which, individually
or             in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the
information set forth in this Registration            Statement (or the most
recent post-effective             amendment thereof); and notwithstanding the 
foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of            securities offered
(if the total value of the              securities offered would not exceed
that which was               registered) and any deviation from the low or
high                end of the estimated maximum offering range may be 
reflected in the form of prospects filed with the           Commission
pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the               aggregate, the changes in the
volume and price             represent no more than a 20% change in the
maximum             aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of
Registration Fee" table in the               effective Registration Statement. 


         (iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of
distribution not previously disclosed            in this Registration
Statement or any material               change to such information in the
Registration            Statement;      

         provided, however, that paragraphs (i) and (ii) shall not apply if
the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those
paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by the Registrant pursuant to
Section 13 or Section 15(d) of Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference
in this Registration Statement.

    (2)  That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to
be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and
the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide offering thereof.
    
    (3)  To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment
any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination
of the offering.
    
    (e)  Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling
persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise,
the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and
Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed
in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.  In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the
registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
person in the successful defense of any action, suit
or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in
the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling
precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether
such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and
will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

                                  THE COMPANY

     The Company, which prior to fiscal year 1995 was a development stage
company, designs, develops, fabricates and sells fiber-reinforced thermoplastic
polymer composite materials ("Quadrax Composites") and products manufactured
from Quadrax Composites.  Quadrax Composites are synthetic materials made using
patented and other proprietary, as well as non-proprietary, chemical processes
and manufacturing technologies.  Management believes that Quadrax Composites
are functionally superior to other structural substrates for most applications
in which abrasion resistance and extreme heat tolerance are not critical. 
Quadrax Composites' functional advantages include high strength-to-weigth
ratios, chemical stability in a variety of ambient conditions (imperviousness
to rust, rot or reaction with most commonly used chemical solvents), ease and
safety of manufacture using modified conventional heat and compression molding
techniques, virtually unlimited shelf life without special storage or handling
requirements, and recyclablity.

     The Company commenced limited commercial production in mid-1993.  Although
the Company historically was dedicated to the formatting of composite materials
for defense and aerospace markets, it began redirecting its business in 1994
and 1995 to focus on commercial and consumer markets for value-added, high-
performance products.  The Company's independent accountants, Livingston &
Haynes, P.C., included a "going concern" qualification in their report on the
Company's financial statements for fiscal 1995, as they did for fiscal 1994
(the period from January 3, 1994 to December 31, 1994), reflecting the
Company's history of losses and its continuing dependence on financing
activities to provide the cash needed to meet its expenses.  

     The Company is organized in a holding company structure, operating through
two wholly owned subsidiaries: Quadrax Advanced Materials Systems, Inc. and
Lion Golf of Oregon, Inc. ("Lion Golf").  It also wholly owns and operates
Quadrax Sports, Inc. as a marketing company.   

     The Company was incorporated under the laws of Delaware in March 1986. 
Its principal executive offices are located at 300 High Point Avenue,
Portsmouth, Rhode Island 02871, and its telephone number is (401) 683-6600.

RISK FACTORS

     In addition to the other information in this Prospectus, the following
risk factors should be considered carefully in evaluating the Company and its
business before purchasing any of the shares of Common Stock offered hereby.

Operating Losses; Limited Revenues; Going Concern Qualification

     Quadrax Corporation has not achieved profitability in any fiscal quarter
since its incorporation in March 1986.  From incorporation through December 31,
1995, the Company incurred a cumulative net loss from continuing operations of
approximately $53,089,000.  During the fiscal years 1995, 1994, 1993 and 1992,
the Company incurred net losses from continuing operations of approximately
$8,998,000, $11,517,000, $5,713,000 and $7,266,000, respectively.

     The Company has generated only limited revenue to date.  In particular,
Quadrax has recently redirected its development and marketing efforts from
aerospace and defense markets to consumer markets and commenced limited
production for these markets in mid-1993.  During fiscal years 1995, 1994, 1993
and 1992, the Company's total revenue was approximately $4,635,000, $860,000,
$1,555,000 and $850,000 respectively.  There can be no assurance that sales of
the Company's products will generate significant revenue in the future. 
Consequently, thee can be no assurance that the Company will achieve or sustain
profitability in the future.  The future operating results of the Company will
depend on its ability to develop and market new products in the commercial
markets.  The Company's independent accountants have included a "going concern"
qualification in their reports on the Company's financial statements for fiscal
1995 and 1994, reflecting the Company's history of losses as a development
stage company and its continuing dependence on financing activities to provide
the cash needed to meet its expenses.  Under the Company's current business
plan, management believes that the Company's revenues and earnings will be
sufficient to make the going concern qualification unnecessary by December 31,
1996, although there can be no assurance that such qualification will in fact
be unnecessary by that date. 

Dependence on New Products

     The Company historically has marketed its products to the U.S. Government. 
The Company began to apply its technology in consumer markets in 1993, and
since that time has taken a number of actions aimed at entering the sporting
goods and athletic equipment market.  The Company has only commenced limited
commercial production of consumer products and therefore has not yet had an
opportunity to fully determine the extent to which Quadrax Composites can be
successfully applied to the development and production of consumer products. 
While management believes that Quadrax Composites are functionally superior to
other structural substrates for many commercial applications, any failure of
Quadrax Composites to perform to standards anticipated by the Company would
have a material adverse affect on the Company's operations and financial
condition.

     Although the Company has entered into several joint development and
exclusive manufacturing contracts to sell goods in the consumer sporting goods
market, the contracts are contingent on the Company being able to meet
contractual specifications in a timely manner and there can be no assurance
that the Company will be able to do so in the future.  A delay in the
successful development, completion or production of any of the Company's
sporting good products may result in the cancellation of existing contracts and
prevent the Company from entering into additional contracts.  This would have
material adverse effect on the Company's operations and financial condition.

     In addition, selling Quadrax Composites and products manufactured from
Quadrax Composites to consumer and commercial markets, the Company faces
significant institutional resistance to working with new materials and products
and to investing in the re-tooling needed to integrate these materials and
products into existing production and product lines.  Successful entrance into
new markets will require substantial investments by the Company in fabrication
and marketing of Quadrax Composites and in the design, development, fabrication
and marketing of products manufactured from Quadrax Composites.  There can be
no assurance that the Company will be able to overcome such institutional
resistance or that it will have sufficient resources to make the necessary
investments in its new products. 

Capital Requirements

     The Company has not achieved profitability in any fiscal quarter and has
been required to raise substantial amounts of capital in order to support its
on-going development activities.  As the Company continues to focus on consumer
markets and progresses from the development of prototypes of products
manufactured from Quadrax Composites to the production of finished goods, it
will continue to be dependent on outside financing sources.

     From its incorporation in March 1986 through December 31, 1995, Quadrax
raised a total of $37.9 million in equity capital.  The Company raised
approximately $5.9 million of equity capital in fiscal 1994 and an additional
$7.3 million through sales of stock and convertible debt during fiscal 1995. 
Management estimates that its capital needs for the fiscal year 1996 will be
between $2-10 million, subject to new product development programs,
acquisitions, and the expansion of sales and marketing programs.  The Company
is seeking alternative sources of public and private equity financing to meet
its needs.  While management believes that the funds raised to date, together
with cash provided by revenues, will be sufficient to meet the Company's cash
requirements for fiscal 1996, there can be no assurance that such funds, if
raised, will meet its cash requirements.  If the Company is unable to meet its
cash requirements, it may be required to defer for a period of time, or
indefinitely, the design, development, fabrication and marketing of new
products and the marketing of existing products and materials in new markets.

     In addition, the Company's capital requirements may increase materially
from those now planned depending on numerous factors, including the level of
its research and development expenses, the rate of market acceptance of the
Company's products, and the success of the Company's sales, marketing and
distribution strategy.  There can be no assurance that the Company will be
successful in raising such additional capital.
     
Limited Production and Sales Experience

     Quadrax has limited experience producing Quadrax Composites and
fabricating finished products and components made from Quadrax Composites.  The
Company has delivered significant quantities of Quadrax Composites for
evaluation and testing, but has completed only one production contract to date,
for a subcontractor to the Department of the Navy, which it completed at a
substantial loss.  Quadrax is currently performing several production
contracts, including one contract under which composite tape fabrication is
being performed at a third party's facility.  While management believes that
significant technological barriers to full scale production have been overcome,
thee can be no assurance that significant unforeseen difficulties will not be
encountered at commercial production levels. 

     Prior to 1994, Quadrax concentrated almost all its product marketing and
customer calling efforts on the sale of materials within the defense
contracting community.  Efforts to move into consumer applications were limited
to attendance at trade shows sponsored by various members of the plastics and
advanced materials industries.  The Company currently has only a small sales
and marketing force.  While initial efforts have been successful, there can be
no assurance that these successes can be duplicated and expanded upon to the
extent necessary for Quadrax to achieve a profitable level of operation. 

SEC Inquiry

     The Company is involved in an ongoing, informal investigation being
conducted by the Staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission.  The
following discussion is based on the information learned by the Company as a
result of its involvement in the Commission's activities.  There may be other
significant information regarding these matters of which the Company is, at
this time, not aware.

     The inquiry, being conducted by the Commission's Denver office, is
believed to have as its principal focus, insofar as it relates to the Company,
activities by the Company's former Chairman of the Board involving certain
transactions in the Company's stock and certain expenditures of Company funds,
during his term as Chairman, from July 1994 through February 1995. 

     The Company has cooperated fully with the inquiry described above,
providing documents and other information in response to the Staff's requests. 
At this time, the Company does not know what conclusions the Staff will reach
or what action, if any, the Staff will recommend to the Commission upon the
termination of the  inquiry.

Competition

     Quadrax Composites compete with conventional materials (including wood,
stone, steel and aluminum), less common metals (such as titanium), and
thermoset (epoxy-based) composites.  While Quadrax Composites offer several
advantages over competing materials, they are also more expensive.  In
addition, Quadrax Composites also suffer from institutional resistance to
working with new materials and investing in the re-tooling needed to integrate
Quadrax Composites into existing product and production lines. 

     The Company faces competition from three of the world's largest
multinational chemical companies-E.I. du Pont de Nemours & Co., Imperial
Chemical Industries PLC and Saint Gobain, S.A.-each of which develops composite
product offerings that may compete with the Company's product offerings.  In
addition, the Company faces potential competition from new companies as well as
from established companies that may migrate from related industries.  Many of
the Company's current and prospective competitors, including E.I. de Pont de
Nemours & Co., Imperial Chemical Industries PLC and Saint Gobain, S.A., have
significantly greater financial, manufacturing and marketing resources than the
Company.  There can be no assurance that the Company's products will compete
effectively with products offered by established and new competitors of the
Company.

     Competition in the sporting goods and athletic equipment market is
intense.  The industry consists primarily of major domestic and international
companies that have financial, technical, marketing, sales, manufacturing,
distribution and other resources substantially greater than those of the
Company.  Many of the Company's competitors in this industry have entrenched
market positions and established trade names, trademarks and other intellectual
property rights.  There can be no assurance that the Company's competitors in
this industry will not devote their significantly greater financial, technical,
marketing and other resources to develop and market sporting goods and athletic
equipment more aggressively than the Company.

     In general, management believes it can compete effectively by offering
products with superior performance characteristics to products offered by other
suppliers, at prices substantially equivalent to those charged by other
suppliers.  The Company believes that the success of its efforts will depend on
a variety of elements both within and outside its control, including the
success and timing of new product development and introduction by the Company
and its competitors, product performance and price, distribution, and customer
support.  There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to compete
successfully with respect to these factors.  Although management believes that
it has certain technological advantages over its competitors, maintaining such
advantages will require continued investment by the Company in design and
development, sales and marketing, and customer service and support.  There can
be no assurance that the Company will have sufficient resources to make such
investments or that the Company will be able to make the technological advances
necessary to maintain its competitive advantages.  In addition, as the Company
enters new markets, distribution channels, technical requirements and levels
and bases of competition may be different than those in the Company's current
markets and there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to compete
favorably. 

Patents and Proprietary Technologies

     The Company currently holds patents on its Quadrax Biaxial Tape materials
formats and on certain aspects of tennis racquets manufactured from Quadrax
aXial Tape.  The Company either owns, licenses or has applied for patents on
certain aspects of the other technology underlying the Company's products.  The
Company's patents, patent rights and patent applications do not ensure a
competitive advantage to the Company, particularly inasmuch as several of the
patents are licensed on a non-exclusive basis.  No assurance can be given that
any issued or licensed patents will not be designed around, infringed or
successfully challenged by others, or that the Company will have sufficient
resources to enforce any proprietary protection afforded by its patents. 
Furthermore, there can be no assurance that patents will issue with respect to
any pending patent application.  Moreover, various of the Company's actual and
potential competitors have obtained patents and could seek to enforce them
against the Company.  An infringement action, if brought, would be costly to
defend and there can be no assurance that the Company would prevail.  Failure
to obtain or to be able to enforce patent protection in favor of the Company,
or failure to defend successfully a patent infringement claim against the
Company, could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business.  In
addition, despite the Company's precautions to the contrary, there can be no
assurance that the trade secrecy protections which may be asserted by the
Company to protect other aspects of its intellectual property will not be
breached or will be enforceable.

Key Employees

     The Company's success depends to a significant extent upon a number of key
management and technical personnel, including James J. Palermo, the Company's
Chief Executive Officer.  Mr Palermo has signed an employment agreement with
the Company that is effective through December 1999.  The loss of the services
of a key employee could have a material adverse effect on the Company's
business and financial condition.  In addition, the Company's future success
will depend in part on its ability to attract and retain highly skilled
technical, managerial and marketing personnel.  Competition for such personnel
is intense, and there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful
in hiring or retaining the personnel it requires to continue to grow and
operate profitably.

Potential Dilution

     Quadrax has a complex capital structure that includes a number of classes
of outstanding warrants and options to purchase Common Stock.  If all of the
warrants and options having exercise prices less than the reported last sale
price of the Common Stock on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market on April 30, 1996 were
to be exercised, an aggregate of 1,648,039 shares of Common Stock would be
issuable for a total of $1,724,000, resulting in a reduction in the percentage
of voting rights and interest in profits represented by a share of Common
Stock.

     In addition, the Company is authorized to issue up to a total of
90,000,000 shares of Common Stock, of which fewer than 22,000,000 shares are
outstanding as of the date hereof.  Issuance of a significant number of
additional shares of Common Stock would result in a substantial reduction in
the percentage of voting rights and interests in profits currently represented
by a share of Common Stock.

Technological Obsolescence

     The structural composites market in which Quadrax competes is
characterized by rapid technological development.  There can be no assurance
that Quadrax's products will not be rendered obsolete or that Quadrax will be
successful in developing new products to meet changing market needs. 

Product Liability

     Sales of Quadrax Composites and parts manufactured therefrom may expose
the Company to liability for substantial damages in the event of accident or
injury shown to have been caused by defective materials.  Management believes
that its limited product liability insurance is currently adequate, but no
assurance can be given that such insurance is sufficient in scope and amount to
cover any and all damages that are incurred in the future.  Further, the
Company expects that it will be necessary for the Company to increase its
product liability insurance coverage as shipments to commercial markets
increase, and there can be no assurance that such coverage will be available
or, if available, that it will be available on terms that are economically
acceptable to the Company.

Volatility of Stock Price; Depressive Effective of Future Sales of Common Stock

     The trading price of the Common Stock has been subject to wide
fluctuations for a number of reasons, including the financial difficulties and
subsequent cessation in 1991 of market-making activities by its former
principal market maker and changes in control of the Company in 1994 and 1995. 
In addition, the stock market has from time to time experienced extreme price
and volume fluctuations that particularly affected the market price for many
technology companies and that often have been unrelated to operating
performance of these companies.  These broad market fluctuations may adversely
affect the market price of the Common Stock.  In addition, future sales by the
Company of newly issued Common Stock (or securities convertible into or
exchangeable for Common Stock) in the public market could place downward
pressure on the market price of the Common Stock. 

Possible Delisting of Common Stock from Nasdaq SmallCap Market

     The Common Stock is listed on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market.  Listing on the
Nasdaq SmallCap Market permits a company's securities to be quoted over the
automated electronic quotation system maintained by the National Association of
Securities Dealers, Inc., which makes current quotations of an issuer's
securities available to brokers and dealers nationwide.  The requirements for
continued listing of common stock on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market include (i) the
presence of at least two registered and active market makers for the stock,
(ii) total assets of the issuer of at lease $2,000,000, (iii) total capital and
surplus of the issuer of at least  $1,000,000, (iv) a minimum bid price per
share of the stock of at least $1.00 (or, alternatively, $1,000,000 market
value of public float and $2,000,000 in total capital and surplus), (v) the
existence of at least 300 record holders of the stock, and (vi) the existence
of at least 100,000 publicly-held shares of the stock.  The National
Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. also has discretionary power to delist
companies for other reasons in keeping with the integrity of the market system. 
Although the Company believes it is currently in compliance with each of these
requirements with respect to the Common Stock, and management is prepared to
take steps to assure continued compliance with the listing requirements for the
Nasdaq SmallCap Market, no assurance can be provided that management's efforts,
if required, would be successful or that the Common Stock will continue to be
listed on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market.

     If the Common Stock were to be delisted from the Nasdaq SmallCap Market,
current information regarding the bid and asked prices for the Common Stock
would become less readily available to brokers, dealers and their customers. 
As a result of the reduced availability of current information, it is likely
that there would be a reduction in the liquidity of the market for the Common
Stock which could, in turn, result in decreased demand for the Common Stock, a
decrease in the price of the Common Stock, and an increased spread between the
bid and asked prices for the Common Stock.  

                                USE OF PROCEEDS

     All proceeds from the sale of Shares offered hereby will be received by
the Selling Shareholders and not by the Company.  To the extent that any Shares
represent unexercised options, the Company will receive the exercise price
thereof.  Such proceeds, if any, will be used for general corporate purposes.

                             SELLING SHAREHOLDERS

     All of the Shares registered are to be offered for the account of the
following shareholders and their donees or pledgees (the "Selling
Shareholders").  The following sets forth certain information with respect to
the Selling Shareholders.  The Company has no knowledge of the intentions of
any of the Selling Shareholders to actually sell any of the shares listed under
the column "Shares to be Sold."

(1)  The column headed "Shares to be Sold" includes only shares issued or
     issuable pursuant to options under the Company's 1993 Stock Plan
     registered by this Prospectus.

*    Ownership is less than one percent of class.
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

     Any or all of the Shares may be sold from time to time directly to
purchasers by the Selling Shareholders.  The sale of the Shares by the Selling
Shareholders may be effected from time to time in transactions (which may
include block transactions) in the NASDAQ market, in negotiated transactions,
or a combination of such methods of sale, at fixed prices which may be changed,
at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to such
prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices.  The Selling Shareholders may
effect such transactions by selling shares to or through broker-dealers, and
such broker-dealers may receive compensation in the form of underwriting
discounts, concessions or commissions from the Selling Shareholder and/or the
purchasers of Shares for whom such broker-dealers may act as agent or to whom
they sell as principal, or both (which compensation as to a particular broker-
dealer might be in excess of customary commissions).  Selling Shareholders may
also make sales from time to time pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities
Act, if such Rule is otherwise available to such particular Selling
Shareholder.

     The Selling Shareholders and any broker-dealers that act in connection
with the sale of the Shares hereunder might be deemed to be "underwriters"
within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act, and any discounts,
concessions or commissions received by them and any profit on the resale of
Shares as principal might be deemed to be underwriting discounts and
commissions under the Securities Act.

     At the time a particular offer of Shares is made, to the extent required,
a supplement to this Prospectus will be distributed which will set forth the
terms of the offering, including the name or names of any underwriters, dealers
or agents, the purchase price paid by any underwriter for Shares purchased from
the Selling Shareholder and any discounts, concessions or commissions and other
items constituting compensation from the Selling Shareholder and any discounts,
concessions or commissions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers, including
the proposed selling price to the public.

     The Company is paying certain expenses (other than commissions and
discounts of underwriters, dealers or agents) incident to the offering and sale
for the Shares to the public, which are estimated to be approximately $5,000. 
If the Company is required to update this Prospectus during such period, it may
incur additional expenses in excess of the amount estimated above.

      In order to comply with certain states' securities laws, if applicable,
the Shares will be sold in such jurisdictions only through registered or
licensed brokers or dealers.  In certain states the Shares may not be sold
unless they have been registered or qualify for sale in such state or an
exemption from regulation or qualification is available and is complied with.

Item 5.  Not applicable.

Item 6.  Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

    Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of Delaware (the "GCL")
authorizes and empowers the Company to indemnify the directors, officers,
employees and agents of the Company against liabilities incurred in connection
with, and related expenses resulting from, any claim or suit brought against
any such person as a result of his relationship with the Company, provided that
such persons acted in accordance with a stated standard of conduct  in
connection with the acts or events on which such claim, action or suit is
based.  The finding of either civil or criminal liability on the part of such
persons in connection with such acts or events in not necessarily determinative
of the questions of whether such persons have met the required standard of
conduct and are accordingly, entitled to be indemnified.

    In addition, Section 10 of the Company's by-laws requires the Company to
indemnify its officers and directors to the fullest extent permitted by the
GCL, and permits the Company to indemnify other persons as it chooses, to the
same extent.  Such indemnity shall not extend to such persons, however, (i) for
any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the Company or its
stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve
intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) for actions
contravening Section 174 of the GCL (relating to unlawful dividend stock
purchases or stock redemptions), or (iv) for any transaction from which the
director derived an improper personal benefit.

Item 9.  Undertakings.

    The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that it will:

    (1)  To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:

         (i)   To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the
Securities Act of 1933;

         (ii)  To reflect in the Prospectus any facts or events arising after
the effective date of this                   Registration Statement ( or the
most recent post-            effective amendment thereof) which, individually
or             in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the
information set forth in this Registration            Statement (or the most
recent post-effective             amendment thereof); and notwithstanding the 
foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of            securities offered
(if the total value of the              securities offered would not exceed
that which was               registered) and any deviation from the low or
high                end of the estimated maximum offering range may be 
reflected in the form of prospects filed with the           Commission
pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the               aggregate, the changes in the
volume and price             represent no more than a 20% change in the
maximum             aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of
Registration Fee" table in the               effective Registration Statement. 

         (iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of
distribution not previously disclosed            in this Registration
Statement or any material               change to such information in the
Registration            Statement;      

         provided, however, that paragraphs (i) and (ii) shall not apply if
the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those
paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by the Registrant pursuant to
Section 13 or Section 15(d) of Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference
in this Registration Statement.

    (2)  That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to
be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and
the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide offering thereof.
    
    (3)  To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment
any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination
of the offering.
    
    (e)  Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling
persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise,
the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and
Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed
in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.  In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the
registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
person in the successful defense of any action, suit
or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in
the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling
precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether
such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and
will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
SIGNATURES

     Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the
registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets
all of the requirements for filing this to Form S-8 and has duly caused this
post-effective amendment to this registration statement to be signed on its
behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the City of
Portsmouth, Rhode Island.
