- Product Description
All direct roving is manufactured to meet ISO 9001 standards. These direct rovings are produced by pulling individual fibers directly from the bushing and then winding them onto a roving package ready for shipment. The uniform distribution of a proprietary sizing system assures an excellent resin-to-glass binding through uniform distribution of the binding agent. A direct roving process represents the optimum technology in forming glass fiber and results in maximum strand integrity.
- Features
Features Customer Benefits Excellent processing D1-AB, D2-AB, D3-AB, D4-AB and D5-AB roving have even tension and excellent integrity, which means a smooth run out through the package. The product will run out at various speeds. In addition, the product has low fuzz and good abrasion resistant properties that will result in smoother parts, less cleanup, improved production efficiencies and reduced costs. Fast wetting properties D1-AB, D2-AB, D4-AB and D5-AB roving allow fast, uniform wet out of the strand in resin systems. Fast wet out should allow you to optimize part fabrication time, increasing productivity and improving your competitive position in the market Multi-compatible size D2-AB roving silane based sizing is designed to have excellent adhesion with polyester, vinyl ester and epoxy resin systems. Multi-compatibility allows a change in the resin system without the need for the time consuming effort of changing the glass in the creel. Application flexibility D1-AB, D2-AB, D4-AB and D5-AB roving are available in a variety of TEX values. The products allow you to meet the various demands of parts used in different applications, thus increasing your competitive ability in the market. Superior composites properties D1-AB, D2-AB, D4-AB and D5-AB rovings are designed to provide composites with superior physical and chemical properties.

Storage & Handling
- Storage
Unless otherwise specified, it is recommended to store glass fiber products in a cool, dry area. Temperature should not exceed 35°C (95°F) and the relative humidity should be kept below 75%. Glass roving products must remain in packaging material until just prior to its use. If these conditions are respected, the glass fiber product should not undergo significant changes when stored for extended periods of time.
