Single-End Rovings

Product Description:

Single-End Rovings are reinforcement products for filament winding, long-fiber thermoplastics, pultrusion, knitting and weaving applications with polyester (UP), vinylester (VE), epoxy (EP), phenolic (PN), polypropylene (PP), polyamide (PA) resin systems. Single-End Rovings are produced by pulling individual fibers directly from the bushing and winding them onto a roving package ready for shipment. The uniform distribution of a proprietary sizing system ensures an excellent resin-to-glass binding through uniform distribution of the binding agent.

Features & Benefits :

• Superior processing.
• Optimized to maximize equipment uptime.
• Fast wet-out.
• Increased productivity.
• Optimum package and pallet weight.
• Better productivity, less storage space, fewer pallet changes.
• Excellent laminate mechanical properties.
• Meets or exceeds physical properties requirements for a broad range of applications.
• Excellent packaging run out and transfer.
• More complete gas utilization and reduced labor costs.

Packaging :

Rovings are available in a single-end internal-pull package. Each pallet weighed about 1 ton. Pallets are stretch wrapped for load stability. All doffs are wrapped with Tack-Pak® transport. Full doffs are available in weights of 20 kg (45 lb.) and 40 kg (88 lb.) regionally and they can be packaged in bulk or Creel-Pak® forma
