Performance Attributes
Improved Manufacturing Productivity
Multi-Process Compatible
Enhanced Service Life
- Excellent DispersionOutstanding compatibility with polyolefins, enabling better wet-out and uniform glass dispersion
- Improved Manufacturing ProductivityOver 30% line speed increase and contributes to lower unit cost for compounders
- Multi-Process CompatibleOptimal adhesion to the polyolefin resin matrix provides excellent dry-as-molded mechanical properties
- Enhanced Service LifeAdvantex® glass helps fight corrosion, enhancing service life compared to standard E-glass
- ApplicationTurboStrand™ 4895 is an advanced member of the Type 30™ roving family and specially designed for polypropylene long-fiber thermoplastic applications with LFT-G, D-LFT, and CFRT for the manufacturing of structural and semi-structural automotive applications, including front-end modules, seat carriers, and door modules of both oil-fueled vehicles and electric vehicles. TurboStrand™ 4895 is also optimized for use in CFRT tapes for structural applications where the performance characteristics of a continuous unidirectional glass reinforcement can significantly improve end-use performance.
Dispersion
Note: Data generated by counting the un-dispersion fiber number in 10 LFT molded plates and normalization with OC Standard Product as baseline; highernumber means better dispersion.

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 three years from the initial production date to insure optimum performance.
Regional Availability
TurboStrand™ 4895 is available in Asia Pacific and CIS.
