Enhanced Service Life
- Lighter Poles & Material SavingsPoleStrand™ enables the production of lighter poles while saving manufacturing materials, with no need for major process adjustments versus standard glass inputs.
- Excellent ProcessingSmooth run-out from lower drag across contact points produces less fuzz, resulting in smoother parts, less cleanup, and improved machine efficiencies.
- Fast Wet-outFast uniform strand wet-out leads to higher glass loading and good adhesion, resulting in optimized part production speed, which supports increased productivity and better-quality finished parts.
- Enhanced Service LifeCompared to standard E-glass, Advantex® glass helps with enhanced service life in applications facing corrosion.

Availability & Packaging
PoleStrand™ is available only in South America. Additional weights and widths may be available upon request by contacting your Owens Corning representative.
Rovings are available in a single-end internal-pull package. Pallets are packaged in bulk and are stretch wrapped for load stability and for protection during transport. All individual packages are wrapped with Tack-Pak™ packaging to aid package run-out and transfer. More information is available in the Customer Acceptance Standards.
Labeling
Each individual package is labeled with information, including product name, Tex/yield, 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.
It is recommended that the product be used in resin within 18 months for manufacture. Ideal conditions are at a temperature between 8°C and 26°C and a relative humidity 70% or less.
