Enhanced Service Life

  • Easy handling and moldability

    Optimized chop length mix provides superior dry tensile strength while bringing good conformability to contoured molds.

  • High process efficiency

    Fast wet-through and low resin pick-up combined with excellent handling properties in dry and wet conditions. This makes the product an ideal choice for large and thick parts production with dry and wet-carrying process.

  • Enhanced service life

    Compared to standard E-glass, Advantex® glass helps with enhanced service life in applications facing corrosion.

Storage

Unless otherwise specified, it is recommended to store glass fiber products in a cool, dry area. Ideal conditions are at a temperature between 10°C and 35°C and a relative humidity between 35% and 85%. The glass fiber products must remain in their original packaging material until the point of usage. If the storage temperature is below 15°C, it is recommended that the product be stored in the workshop, within its original packaging, at least 24 hours prior to use to help prevent condensation. The packaging is not waterproof. Be sure to protect the product from the weather and other sources of water. When stored properly, the product can be used up to 2 years from the date of manufacture, and retesting is advised after 1 year from the initial production date to insure optimum performance.
