Chopped Strands

Properties

Excellent strand integrity
Good flowability
Good fibre dispersion in the extruder
Excellent mechanical properties of the moulded parts
No discoloration
Good surface appearance of the moulded parts

Glass fiber roving strand chopped to a specified length is used as reinforcing material in combination with
thermoplastic resins for injection molding. Depending upon the application, a strand may contain several
hundreds of monofilaments with diameters ranging from 10 µm to 13 µm. The cutting length is 3 mm.
Surfaces of monofilaments are specially coated with a suitable sizing which is compatible with the
thermoplastic resins.
