Optimal Aesthetics

  • Increased Productivity

    • Productivity gains (ft²/min) of up to 21% on complex geometries have been realized during the open-mold manufacturing process, versus the lowest-performing fiberglass alternative.*




    * Third-party external evaluation of a Marine structural liner showed up to a 21% reduction in time/ft² versus worst-performing fiberglass option.

  • Improved Efficiencies

    • Low-fuzz generation and improved dispersion, flat lay-down, and excellent conformability using a specialty anti-stat that saves time.




    • Improved anti-stat provides less static build-up for robotic-based production.




    • New fiber geometry offers good mechanical properties and improves conformability for better roll-out, wet-out, and reduced risk of trapping air.

  • Optimal Aesthetics

    • Reduction in A-side fiber print.




    • Improved short-term and long-term waviness, and improved B-side cosmetics.

APPLICATIONS

OptiSpray® ROBO roving can be used in a variety of spray-up applications, including boats, truck caps, vehicle body parts, bath tubs, showers, spas, tanks, and applications with large parts, complex molds, or sharp curvatures.

Labeling

Each doff has a self-adhesive identification label, showing the product reference and the production date.

Each pallet has 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 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 two years from the initial production date to ensure optimum performance.
