3B Fibreglass SE 4220
- Chemical Family
- Glass Beads & Fibers
3B Fiberglass SE 4220 are corresponds to 3B’s portfolio of direct roving glassfi bre designed to rein-force polyolefi ns. Made out of E-CR glass, these direct roving fi bres consist of conti-nuous fi laments bonded together into a single strand and wound into a cylindrical shaped bobbin. SE 4220 (17μm) corresponds to an E-CR glass made direct roving whose strand consists of gathered 17μm diameter glass fi laments for reinforcing polyolefi ns. This 17μm fi lament diameter product offers the best compromise between mechanical performances and aptitude for knitting/weaving in the case of Continuous Fiber Thermoplastics manu-facturing. This is also the most common fi lament diameter in use for the production of LFT pellets or D-LFT parts. SE 4220 (17μm) is compatible with both polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP).SE 4220 (17μm) direct roving is internal/inside pull and is available in 1200 tex and 2400 tex linear densities.

- Storage
Storage in a cool and dry warehouse into the original packaging is formally recommended. More precisely ideal storage condi-tions are a temperature between 15°C (59°F) and 35°C (95°F) and a relative humidity comprised between 35% and 75%. If these conditions are maintained, the glassfi bre product should not undergo signifi cant changes when stored for extended periods of time. It is also strongly recommended to condition it in the workshop for at least 24 hours before use to prevent condensation. For an optimal processing we recommend to use the product in ambient conditions (20-23°C / 68-73°F, and a relative humidity of 60-65%).
- PACKAGING
Standard packaging of SE 4220 1200 tex consists of:1150 mm x 1150 mm x 1200 mm (45.3 in x 45.3 in x 47.2 in) (L x w x h) pallet containing individual bobbins (Bulk-Pack®).Pallet confi guration displays 44 individual bobbins, evenly distributed on 4 layers, leading to a net weight close to 1050 kg (2317 lb). Bobbin average weight is around 24 kg (53 lb).. Standard packaging of SE 4220 2400 tex consists of:1150 mm x 1150 mm x 1200 mm (45.3 in x 45.3 in x 47.2 in) (L x w x h) pallet from where 12 strands of glass fi bre are ready to be used for feeding the production line (Creel-Pack®). Bobbins are spliced together enabling continuous unwinding for better productivity and no bobbins handling for better ope-rator's safety. Pallet's net weight is around 1100 kg (2317 lb).
