MCX24 High Performance Roving for Long Span Pultrusion PRODUCT DESCRIPTION XStrand H roving is part of a new generation of High-Performance Reinforcements enabling significantly stronger, stiffer and lighter composite parts than traditional E-glass reinforcements. ® Owens Corning High-Performance Reinforcements XStrand H are made from a boron-free glass formulation that meets R-Glass standards ISO 2078, ASTM C162 & DIN B1259-1. The glass formulation is designed for excellent mechanical properties (tensile strength and modulus) and offers significantly better thermal and corrosion resistance properties than E-glass. ® XStrand H roving consists of continuous high-performance glass filaments gathered in a single-end roving without mechanical twist and treated with specifically developed sizings. These rovings are charaterized by a low level of catenary, excellent processing and handling characteristics: low fuzz, low static, complete run-out and fast wet-out. XStrand H MCX24 roving has been specifically developed for composite in demanding industrial applications requiring high modulus and long life. They are particularly suitable for the production of long span composite products by pultrusion process as ladder rails, bars, rods, grating systems and miscellaneous pultruded structural shapes in polyester, vinylester and epoxy resin systems. ® XStrand H MCX24 can also be used in acrylic and polyurethane resin systems. ® XStrand H MCX24 is also suitable for the production of poles and other composite elements by filament winding process. © Shutterstock FEATURES AND PRODUCT BENEFITS • Up to 15% Stiffer and to 20% Stronger glass versus conventional E-Glass • Provides lower deformation for a given load. • Allows weight and cost savings (reduced amount of reinforcement and resin). • Longer resistance to corrosion and cyclic loadings • Improves sustainability for long life structures. • Improved reliability and lower maintenance cost. • Multi-process and multi-resin compatible • For use with pultrusion process and also suitable for filament winding process. • Excellent adhesion with polyester, vinylester and epoxy resin systems. Also compatible with acrylic and poly
