3B Fibreglass W 2020
- Chemical Family
- Glass Beads & Fibers
3B Fiberglass W 2020 are spe-cifically designed to provide signifi-cantly higher modulus, strength and enhanced fatigue performances ver-sus traditional E-glass for wind turbine blades made out of epoxy resin. HiPer-texTM W 2020 Rovings are per-fectly suited for the production of high modulus Non Crimped Glass Fabrics and prepregs. The sizing W 2020 is purposely formulated for excellent adhesion with epoxy resin systems and leads to superior interfibre and interlaminar shear strengths as well as dynamic performances. The specific boron free glass formula-tion provides superior hydrolysis and corrosion resistance. These properties improvements versus typical E-glass will help blade desi-gners to push further the limits of glass fiber blade designs, especially for the long blades required for the multi MW turbines for on shore and off shore. The W 2020 roving is approved by Germanischer Lloyd for the use in wind turbine rotor blades.

- Storage
Storage in a cool and dry warehouse into the original packa-ging is formally recommended. More precisely ideal storage conditions are a temperature between 15°C and 35°C and a relative humidity comprised between 35% and 75%.Two-height stacking is possible under customer's responsibi-lity. Place HiPer-texTM W2020 Rovings in the workshop at least 24 hours prior usage.
- PACKAGING
Bobbins are individually wrapped with stretched plastic fi lm for protection, improved handling and to allow optimum transfer from bobbin to bobbin. Nominal weight for bobbins is 25 kgs for tex >600 tex and 21 kgs for 600 tex rovings.. Two pallet confi gurations are available:- Bulk Pack: standard packaging, consists of individual bobbins.- Creel Pack: bobbins are connected together for continuous unwinding and no bobbins handling for operators.
