Performance Attributes
Excellent Impregnation & Dispersion
Improved Manufacturing Economics
Multi-Process Compatible
- Enhanced Mechanical PerformanceTurboStrand™ 4595 offers enhanced composite tensile, flexural, and impact performance. Providing maximum part strength and long part service life.
- Excellent Impregnation & DispersionHigh-quality dispersion within the pellet and final mold, creating excellent surface appearance and part strength.
- Improved Manufacturing EconomicsDependable internal and external unwinding process for less downtime.
Reduction in fuzz generation for easier processing and less downtime for cleanup, also resulting in a smoother finished product. - Multi-Process CompatibleSuitable for LFT-G, D-LFT, and CFRT processes and pellet manufacturing, and choppable to desired length.
- Enhanced Service LifeAdvantex® glass helps fight corrosion, enhancing service life compared to standard E-glass.
- ApplicationTurboStrand™ 4595 is ideal for polyamide and polycarbonate long-fiber thermoplastic applications with LFT-G, D-LFT, and CFRT.
Applications Include:
- Automotive e.g. instrument panels frameworks, EV battery covers, mechanical components
- Thermoplastic fabrics for wind blades
- UD tape for reinforced thermoplastic pipe (RTP), vessels

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.
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.
