Corrosion Resistance

  • Freedom of design and white color

    U527 product easily adapts to complex die shapes and preserves part white color.


    U528X1 product offers a great balance between softness, white color and good tensile strength requirements.

  • Productivity and high performance

    U528 product is easy to splice and enables excellent processability. It provides very good mechanical and di-electrical properties to molded parts


    U529 product higher tensile strength fits the requirement for most challenging profiles and fast pultrusion process speed.

  • Corrosion Resistance

    Excellent corrosion resistance with Advantex® Glass compared to standard E-glass: providing longer service life in applications facing corrosion.

Customized for multiple needs

Unifilo®500 Series mats are available with varying binder contents to match up with specific customer applications

Profiles - Dielectrical laminates.

UNIFILO®500 Series mats are compatible with unsaturated polyester, vinyl ester, acrylic and epoxy resins and designed for the reinforcement of pultruded shapes including gratings, ladder rails, frames, insulators. They are also proven to be well suited for compression molding of di-electrical laminates. (Picture Courtesy of Collodin, CN.)

Labeling

Each roll bears a label detailing the product description, product code, nominal weight, roll width, roll number and manufacture date.


Storage

Unless otherwise specified, it is recommended to store glass fiber products in a cool, dry area. Ideal conditions are at a temperature between 10°C and 35°C and a relative humidity between 35% and 85%. The glass fiber products must remain in their original packaging material until the point of usage. If the storage temperature is below 15°C, it is recommended that the product be stored in the workshop, within its original packaging, at least 24 hours prior to use to help prevent condensation. The packaging is not waterproof. Be sure to protect the product from the weather and other sources of water. When stored properly, the product can be used up to 2 years from the date of manufacture, and retesting is advised after 1 year from the initial production date to insure optimum performance.
