Fibrox™ 300 HD
Fibrox™ 300 HD 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. Fibrox™ 300 HD has a fiber index greater than 95%. Additional surface treatments are available for Fibrox™ 300 HD. It boasts thermal stability, consistent uniformity and excellent tensile strength and is the perfect alternative to asbestos.
