ENHANCE SURFACE AESTHETICS AND PERFORMANCE
973 family of products represents a compelling solution for Sheet Molding Compound (SMC) Class A & semi-structural parts where efficient processing, superior surface finish and mechanical properties are required.
PERFORMANCE ATTRIBUTES
CLASS A SURFACE FINISH
HIGH MECHANICAL PROPERTIES
ENHANCED SERVICE LIFE
EFFICIENT PROCESSABILITY
EXCELLENT PROCESSABILITY
Proprietary sizing enables optimal processability in both SMC and LFI processes with: low static and fuzz, easy chopping without long fiber cuts, and excellent runnabillty with smooth unwinding.
CLASS A SURFACE FINISH
Excellent wetting characteristics allow lower sheet density, resulting in Class A surface quality in Low Profile SMC.
HIGH MECHANICAL PROPERTIES
Optimal adherence to the resin matrix, along with excellent wetting characteristics provide enhanced mechanical properties in semi-structural applications.
ENHANCED SERVICE LIFE
Advantex® glass helps fight corrosion, enhancing service life compared to standard E-glass.
