PRODUCT INFORMATION SE 1500 Roving Single-End Roving for Weaving and Knitting Single-End Rovings are produced by pulling individual fibers directly from the bushing and winding them onto a roving package ready for shipment. The uniform distribution of a proprietary sizing system ensures an excellent resin-to-glass binding through uniform distribution of the binding agent. Single-End Rovings are manufactured using the T30® Roving state-of-the-art technology of Owens Corning, in conjunction with statistical process control in manufacturing facilities certified to ISO 9001. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION PRODUCT APPLICATION SE 1500 roving is designed for applications such as woven, knitted, and multiaxial fabrics or pre-pregs, where enhanced fatigue performances are needed, such as automotive leaf springs and windmill blades SE 1500 roving is also suitable for use in filament wound pipe, tubes or tanks SE 1500 roving is specially designed for use in weaving and knitting operations where end use applications contain epoxy resins (anhydride and amine systems). It is not recommended to use SE 1500 Single-End Roving with non-epoxy resins. Advantex® Glass is an Owens Corning patented glass formulation, which meets ASTM D578 and ISO 2078, as a boronfree corrosion resistant E-CR glass fiber. Advantex® Glass has been providing superior corrosion resistance vs. standard E-glass, since 1996, leading to longer part life and greater service life strength in applications facing corrosion, opening new markets for composites and our customers. Advantex® glass fiber reinforcements combine the electrical and mechanical properties of traditional E-glass with the acid corrosion resistance of E-CR glass.
