( Owens Corning . _ -----------nnents PRODUCT INFORMATION ^1 ss^sVj^wi Cil r^i = \ High-Performance Reinforcements Delivering Performance. Enabling Possibilities. Readily Available. Owens Corning High-Performance ShieldStrand® R roving is part of a new generation of High-Performance Reinforcements from Owens Corning enabling significantly stronger; stiffer and lighter composite parts than traditional E-Glass reinforcements. Developed for composite hard armor; ShieldStrand R can increase protection, payload and performance at an affordable price. ShieldStrand R can reduce weight up to 37% when replacing aluminum and up to 48% when replacing steel depending on the application. ShieldStrand R provides higher structural performance than aramid, polyethylene and polypropylene and meets all the fire, smoke and toxicity (FST) requirements for military vehicles. ShieldStrand R reinforcements are produced on a large scale using OCV™ innovative breakthrough glass fiber technology, making it available and affordable. ShieldStrand R is approved for MIL-DTL-64154B Class B ballistic performance requirements. Owens Corning High-Performance Reinforcements are made from a boron-free glass formulation that can be classified as a High-Strength R-glass, as defined by the ASTM C-162, DIN 1259 and ISO 2078 standards. This glass formulation is designed for excellent mechanical properties (tensile strength and modulus) and offers significantly better thermal and corrosion resistance properties than E-Glass. Because of the critical importance of the synergy between the reinforcements and the matrix, ShieldStrand R has a proprietary sizing that makes it ideal for ballistic and blast protection applications using phenolic, polyester; vinyl ester and thermoplastic resin systems. This document specifies properties for our standard high-performance reinforcement products; however; should you have other special requirements, please contact our dedicated and knowledgeable staff for assistance.

High-Performance Reinforcements ShieldStrand R roving consists of continuous filaments gathered in a single-end roving without mechanical twist and treated with specifically developed chemical size or finish. These rovings have a low level of catenary good processing and handling characteristics such as low fuzz, low static, good run-out and fast wet-out for weaving and knitting, prepreg and the resin infusion processes typically used in the ballistic armor plate or spall liner kit manufacturing industry. With the strain energy properties similar to S-glass, the ballistic V50 resistance is...
