TWINTEX® R PP

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

TWINTEX® R PP is a roving made of commingled E-glass and polypropylene filaments. TWINTEX® R PP is suitable for filament winding, pultrusion, reinforcement of extruded profiles and weaving.

Consolidation is done by heating the roving above melting temperature of PP matrix (180°C-230°C / 360°F-450°F) and applying a pressure before cooling step under pressure.
