PMF® Fiberwear CG
PMF® Fiberwear CG is produced from high purity mineral ores in an electric arc furnace, the precisely designed fiber is used as a reinforcing material in a variety of composite end-uses including friction materials; quality plastics; paints; caulks; sealants, coatings and gaskets. Fiberwear CG is available with a fiber index of 70%. Additional surface treatments are available for this versatile product that also boasts thermal stability, consistent uniformity and excellent tensile strength and is the perfect alternative to asbestos. The world class engineered fiber is available with a fiber index of 70%. Additionally, application specific surface treatments can be integrated into the process.
