ENHANCED SERVICE LIFE

  • Excellent Processability

    Designed for excellent processing at various line speeds, ME1958 features easy unwinding and chopping, flat lay-down, and uniform dispersion with low fuzz and static.

  • Enhanced Performance

    Increased wet-out allows higher glass loading due to excellent wet-through and impregnation. This can be leveraged to further enhance the mechanical strength and stiffness of the composite part.






    Excellent fiber distribution for smooth surface aspect and consistent thickness of the laminate with minimal color shift in filled pastels.

  • Enhanced Service Life

    Advantex® glass helps fight corrosion, enhancing service life compared to standard E-glass.

Labeling

Each doff has a self-adhesive identification label showing the product description, net weight, and production date. Each pallet has at least two identification labels detailing the product reference, pallet net and gross weights, production date, and pallet production code.



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.

    Regional Availability

    ME1958 is available in the Americas.
