Performax® SE4850 roving for DLFT PP

Performax® SE4850 roving for DLFT PP

Product catalog summary

Introduction
The PERFORMAX® SE4850 Single-End Roving is designed to enhance the performance of Direct Long Fiber Thermoplastics (DLFT) in polypropylene (PP) applications. It offers potential for reduced wall thickness and decreased use of coupling agents while maintaining comparable end-use performance.

Mechanical Properties
The product delivers outstanding mechanical properties, with up to an 80% increase in impact strength. Testing data from Owens Corning and the Fraunhofer Institute indicate significant improvements in tensile and flexural strength.

Performance Enhancements
Key enhancements include improved splice tensile strength, optimized adhesion to PP, increased lubricity, reduced strand stiffness, and improved resistance to fuzz generation. These improvements facilitate easier processing and better housekeeping.

Comparative Advantages
Compared to other DLFT reinforcements, the SE4850 offers up to an 83% reduction in fuzz generation, a 40% improvement in glass dispersion, and an 80% increase in splice strength.

Product Benefits
The SE4850 is globally available, manufactured in multiple facilities, ensuring supply redundancy. Owens Corning provides local technical support and global account coordination, offering a broad range of glass fiber products for specialized polymer/resin matrix and reinforcement options.

Applications
This product is suitable for various DLFT applications, particularly in the automotive sector for structural and semi-structural complex parts.
