Storage

Glass fiber products must remain in the packaging material until just prior to use. It is recommended to bring material into a workshop area at least 24 hours prior to use. WindStrand® 4000 roving should be stored in a dry area with ambient temperature optimally from 8°C to 26°C and relative humidity 70% or less. To insure optimal performance, retesting is recommended for products stored more than two years from the initial production. The packaging system is designed to allow stacking of two pallets. When stacking two high, care should be taken to place the top pallet correctly and smoothly.
