Enhanced Service Life

  • Easy Handling and Moldability

    Glass bonding designed to minimize fiber shedding, including in the most demanding molding process.

  • High Process Efficiency

    Exceptional wet tensile strength perfectly fits with the wet and carrying process.


    Fast wetting and quick air release help reduce the labor required to roll out the part.

  • High Performance

    Optimized product design allows good surface finish and smooth surface behind gelcoat while providing the final part with exceptional tensile and flexural performances.

  • Enhanced Service Life

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

Applications

M723B is designed to be used both as gel coat backup and standard laminate reinforcement for most contact molding applications, including truck parts and panels, marine applications, storage containers, and tanks for corrosives.

Technical Information

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, there is no known shelf life to the product, and retesting is advised after three years from the initial production date to ensure optimum performance.
