ENHANCED SERVICE LIFE

  • Excellent Processability

    Excellent unwinding of doffs at various speeds.


    Excellent choppability and splitting leading to excellent fiber distribution.


    Negligible static build-up or fuzz under normal ambient conditions (see storage information).


    Fast wet-out and impregnation.

  • Impressive Aesthetics

    The excellent fiber distribution allows a homogeneous surface aspect with limited fiber prints, which results in consistent thickness throughout the laminate.


    The product design insures absence of white fibers and fiber spring-back along with significant reduction of air entrapment, when used with the proper resin system.


    Consequently, the product enables excellent translucency of laminates.

  • 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

    OC HiLight is available in North America.
