| Description |
Designed as a stabilizing additive; our chopped glass microfibers provide unique properties as a reinforcing agent or filler material in rubbers, plastics, paints, adhesives, ceramics and specialty papers. Using a secondary chopping process glass microfibers are cut to shorten the fiber length in order to improve incorporation in compounding processes; while retaining the fibers’ inorganic, noncombustible and high surface area properties. |
| Application |
Advanced composites;
Reinforcement agent for rubber compounds;
