SE4849 singleend Type 30™ roving represents a compelling solution for Compounders seeking improved productivity through increased line speed, and the potential for higher glass loadings made possible with excellent dispersion. IMPROVED MANUFACTURING ECONOMICS Greater than 50% reduction in fuzz generation relative to competitive reinforcements for easier processing and less downtime for cleanup. SUPERIOR COMPOSITE STRENGTH Increased splice tensile strength improves package to package transfer efficiency. Increased lubricity imparts lower strand tension enabling up to a 40% increase in compounding line speed for reduced manufacturing costs. SUPERIOR GLASS DISPERSION AND INCREASED PART STRENGTH Outstanding compatibility with Polyolefins, enabling better wetout, uniform glass dispersion and potentially higher glass loading. Optimized adhesion to the polymer matrix offering excellent mechanical properties to meet stringent enduse requirements.

PulStrand® PRO41 Roving is designed to maximize pultrusion processes by reducing the number of glass doffs needed. High tex reduces floor space, improves downtime and labor, and provides the opportunity to make larger parts without compromising mechanical properties/processing. 5075% less floor space required to run your product line. Product change overs require fewer doffs and less labor. Space savings and large tex enables you to make larger parts with the same setup. EFFICIENT PROCESSING Smooth runout combined with low fuzz properties, results in smoother parts and less downtime for cleanup, enabling higher efficiencies and lower manufacturing costs. IMPRESSIVE MECHANICAL PROPERTIES Desirable shear and flexural properties in major resin systems, provide maximum part strength and long part service life.

SE2350 singleend Type 30® roving is designed for applications requiring high strength, efficient processing and demanding fatigue life. Maximum strand integrity results from uniform distribution of a proprietary sizing system ensuring excellent resintoglass binding. EXCELLENT PROCESSING Smooth runout from lower drag across contact points produces less fuzz, resulting in smoother parts, less cleanup, and improved machine efficiencies. FAST WETOUT WITH REDUCED COST Fast, uniform strand wetout leads to higher glass loading and good adhesion with reduced resin in both amine and anhydride cured epoxy resin systems. This results in optimized part production speed and increased productivity, reducing manufacturing costs. GOOD MECHANICAL PROPERTIES Excellent shear and tensile properties in both amine and anhydride resin systems; good laminate properties in burst, static, and cyclic fatigue provide maximum part strength and long part service life.

SE8400 Type 30™ singleend roving is specifically designed for pultrusion processing in applications requiring high electrical resistance. Produced with Advantex®, corrosionresistant ECR glass technology by Owens Corning. Compatible with polyester, vinyl ester and epoxy resins. EFFICIENT PROCESSING Better wetout in polyester, vinyl ester, and epoxy resin, offering fast processing and good glasstoresin bonding, resulting in optimized part production. Good wetout and resin bonding results in excellent visual appearance of parts produced. GOOD MECHANICAL PROPERTIES Low seed glass results in excellent dielectric properties which are ideal for applications requiring high electrical resistance. ADVANCED SERVICE LIFE Advantex® corrosion resistant glass fiber combined with low seed glass is ideal for longterm electrical, physical, and acid resistance, reducing the potential for costly brittle fracture failures in the field.

SE1200 singleend Type 30™ roving is a compelling solution designed specifically for knitting and weaving with versatility to work well in filament winding, pultrusion, and LFTP applications. EXCELLENT PROCESSING Smooth runout from lower drag across contact points produces less fuzz, resulting in smoother parts, less cleanup, and improved machine efficiencies. MULTIPROCESS & MULTIRESIN COMPATIBLE Flexibility for use with standard weaving looms, multiaxial knitting machines, filament winding, and pultrusion. FAST WETOUT WITH REDUCED COST Fast, uniform strand wetout leads to higher glass loading and good adhesion, resulting in optimized part production speed which supports increased productivity and betterquality finished parts. ENHANCED SERVICE LIFE Compared to standard Eglass, Advantex® glass provides longer service life in applications facing corrosion and possesses high fatigue properties to help qualify for wind energy.

SE4850 singleend Type 30™ roving represents a compelling solution for Polypropylene in Direct Long Fiber Thermoplastics (DLFT) applications where improved performance and manufacturing economics is required. Improved resistance to fuzz generation for easier processing and improved housekeeping. Reduced strand stiffness for easier splaying. Increased lubricity for lower strand tension. Improved splice tensile strength for enhanced packagetopackage transfer and improved line efficiencies. Outstanding compatibility with PP for better wetout and dispersion. Optimized adhesion to PP to meet or exceed all mechanical performance needs. Rovings are available in a singleend internalpull package. Each pallet weighs about 1 ton and can be packaged in bulk or CreelPak™ packaging format. Pallets are stretch wrapped for load stability and for protection during transport.

Introducing higher performance composites by Owens Corning more modulus, more benefits, more opportunities. This new higher performance glass provides a boost in mechanical properties enhancing part performance or cost optimization through redesign. Reduce the weight of pultruded parts by up to 8% by using higher modulus glass, saving material cost. Improve performance by up to 15% in axial tensile strength for helically wound pipe compared to reference products. The glass can be used in high temperature muffler applications due to an annealing point increase of 25 30°C compared to current products. Higher modulus can enable fiberglass rebar with modulus up to 70 GPa on straight bars. Properties previously unattainable on bent bars can now be achieved. Central strength members can be made 8% lighter, enabling increased fiber optic capacity in the cable. Reduce the weight of parts for automotive applications by up to 9%.
