ENHANCED PART STRENGTH Icon

ENHANCED PART STRENGTH

  • Excellent Dispersion & Impregnation

    • Pre-dispersed nature promotes excellent dispersion in the matrix.




    • Short-fiber thermoplastic compounds will show improved melt flow characteristics with shorter input fiber lengths.

  • Impressive Aesthetics

    • Fiber length and excellent distribution qualities provide a homogeneous, highly pigmentable surface with limited fiber prints and good color.

  • Enhanced Part Strength

    • Glass reinforced parts exhibit improved mechanical properties, modulus and dimensional stability.

Applications

Milled Fibers are designed to be used in a wide variety of applications in automotive, electrical, consumer, construction, marine, and aerospace industries, including high-flow glass reinforced thermoplastic compounds, PTFE gaskets and seals, repair putties, friction and clutch materials, and specialty paints.

Technical Information

Product Appearance

Powder
Relatively free-flowing with a high bulk density for use in formulations requiring very uniform dispersion and short fibers with median fiber lengths typically in the range of 40 - 110 microns.

Floccular
Small nodules of glass filaments for use in formulations requiring increased bulk or longer filaments with typical median fiber lengths in the range of 180-200 microns.

Availability

Milled Fibers are available worldwide from the manufacturing region noted.

Labeling

Each individual package is labeled with information including: product name, producing plant, and production date.

Storage

Unless otherwise specified, 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 in its original packaging for 48 hours prior to its utilization to allow it to reach the workshop temperature condition and prevent condensation, especially during the 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 three years from the initial production date to ensure optimum performance.

    Regional Availability

    Milled Fibers are available worldwide from the manufacturing region noted.
