Epoxy Compatible Roving

408 SERIES

408 SERIES single end roving consists of continuous E-CR * glass fibers manufactured by the direct draw process. The roving is treated with a silane sizing system for excellent performance with epoxy & phenolic resin systems used in Weaving, Knitting, Filament Winding and Pultrusion. 408 SERIES roving is the reinforcement of choice for high performance corrosion resistant resin systems. 408 SERIES roving is designed to: Display fast wet-out without glint Provide optimum unwind performance from creels without balling Run freely through mechanically guided roving systems Exhibit superior resistance to tangling, fuzz and static electricity Minimize fiber-working degradation Demonstrate even tensioning and superior tracking through guides Develop fast buildup and uniform packing of tubular products Optimize strength properties and laminate stiffness in composite matrices

This data is offered solely as a guide for our customers and implied no liability on our part. The information contained in this data sheet is based on actual data supplied by an independent laboratory. We believe this information to be reliable, but do not guarantee its applicability to the user's process or assume any liability arising out of its use or performance. The user, by accepting these products, agrees to conduct its own testing and suitability for a particular use. *Fiberex manufactures all its rovings using the E-CR glass formulation. E-CR is boron free and contains no ingredients that are harmful to the environment. E-CR can be used wherever E glass is used....it provides for higher tensile strength, superior corrosion resistance, higher softening temperature and superior electrical properties. E-CR is the preferred choice for corrosion and electrical applications and may be desirable where certain higher temperature properties are needed.
