Description
Chopped strand glass fiber combines the electrical and mechanical properties of traditional E glasses with the acid corrosion resistance of E-CR glass
Chopped strands are made from continuous strands of glass filaments designed to reinforce Phenolic grade resins. Chopped strands are specially designed to be compatible with phenolic resins based on silane coupling agent. Chopped strands have excellent dry flow coupled with good dispersion.
Chopped strands Is particularly suitable for producing BMC premix for friction applications and phenolic thermosets by compression or by injection moulding.
PRODUCT APPLICATION
Chopped strands are ideal for commercial mass production of friction facings, electrical & electronic equipment components etc.
