957 multi-end roving represents a compelling solution for SMC (Sheet Molding Compound) applications where UV stability and high mechanical properties are required..
TALK TO AN EXPERT
GOOD SURFACE AESTHETICS
VERY GOOD MECHANICAL PROPERTIES
ENHANCED SERVICE LIFE
EFFICIENT PROCESSABILITY
Due to proprietary sizing, the product shows low static and fuzz, easy choppability (no long fiber cut), excellent runnability (smooth unwinding), thus enabling flat lay-down, low loft and uniform dispersion.
Due to its proprietary sizing, the product enables the use of pigmentable resin formulations, allowing optimal coloration and high UV stability in finished parts.
Due to its wetting characteristics and optimal adherence to the resin matrix, the product provides enhanced mechanical properties in semi-structural applications.
Advantex® glass helps fight corrosion, enhancing service life compared to standard E-glass.
957 is designed to provide optimal aesthetics and mechanical performance in transportation, sanitary, and general purpose applications. (Image courtesy of Continental Structural Plastics, USA)

LABELING
Each bobbin has a self-adhesive identification label, showing the product reference and the production date. Each pallet has at least one identification label detailing the product reference, pallet net and gross weights, production date and pallet production code. The packaging system is designed to allow short term stacking of two pallets. When stacking two high, care should be taken to correctly and smoothly place the top pallet. It is recommended to use a plywood plate between the two pallets in order not to damage the lower pallet.
STORAGE
It is recommended to store glass fiber products in a cool, dry area. The glass fiber products must remain in their original packaging material until the point of usage; the product should be stored in the workshop, within its original packaging, 48 hours prior to its utilization, to allow it to reach the workshop temperature condition and prevent condensation, especially during cold season. The packaging is not waterproof. Be sure to protect the product from the weather and other sources of water. When stored properly, there is no known shelf life to the product, but retesting is advised after two years from the initial production date to insure optimum performance.
957 is available in North America.
P204 multi-end roving represents a versatile solution for a wide range of Sheet Molding Compound applications, especially where reduced glass changeovers are needed when manufacturing multiple types of parts.
973 family of products represents a compelling solution for Sheet Molding Compound (SMC) Class A & semi-structural parts where efficient processing, superior surface finish and mechanical properties are required.
