EFFICIENT PROCESSING
ENHANCED PERFORMANCE
IDEAL FOR PIGMENTED PARTS
ENHANCED SERVICE LIFE
Easy unwinding and chopping, flat lay-down, and uniform dispersion with low fuzz and static for large and/or semi-structural part molding.
Better wet-out allows higher glass loading (up to 65% according to a 2016 single customer data source) due to excellent wet-through and impregnation. This can be leveraged to further enhance the mechanical strength and stiffness of the composite part in complex structures.
Desirable product flow within mold at low shrinkage delivers a resin-rich white-color surface aspect with low-porosity which facilitates good pigmentation or painting of finished parts.
Advantex® glass helps fight corrosion, enhancing service life compared to standard E-glass.
ME1960 product is designed for the manufacture of large transportation components such as cab door skins for heavy-duty trucks, buses, and trains as well as home fixtures and other semi-structural general-purpose products requiring high modulus, strength, and aesthetics.

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.
ME1960 is available in Europe.
