PRODUCT INFORMATION ME1958 Advantex® glass Roving for Pigmented SMC PRODUCT DESCRIPTION The ME1958 Multi-End Roving is manufactured from a collection of continuous glass filaments, gathered, without mechanical twist, into multiple bundles that are wound into a doff. The filaments that make up the bundles are bonded together with a high performance silane based sizing. The ME1958 sizing is compatible with polyester/vinylester resin systems as well as some polyurethane resins. The ME1958 Multi-End Roving is produced using Advantex® glass fiber. The Advantex® glass fiber combines the electrical and mechanical properties of traditional E-glasses with the corrosion resistance of E-CR glass. PRODUCT APPLICATIONS The ME1958 Multi-End Roving is designed for use in the manufacture of sheet molding compounds (SMC) in the pigmented market and molds where high flow is a requirement.
