HIGH MECHANICAL PROPERTIES

SUITABLE FOR DRINKING WATER APPLICATIONS

ENHANCED SERVICE LIFE
- Excellent ProcessabilityDue to proprietary sizing, the product shows low static build-up and fuzz, easy choppability (no long fiber cut), excellent runnability (smooth unwinding), leading to excellent fiber distribution.
Excellent fiber distribution enables the chopped strand layers to remain open and thus allows great wet-through and impregnation. - High Mechanical PropertiesThe product design provides high mechanical properties to the final part (see technical data).
- SUITABLE FOR DRINKING WATER APPLICATIONS495 has been assessed for compliance with the requirements applicable to glass fiber reinforced plastic in contact with drinking water. For further details, please contact ProductCompliance@owenscorning.com.
- Enhanced Service LifeAdvantex® glass helps fight corrosion, enhancing service life compared to standard E-glass.

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.
