Packaging & Availability
- Packaging
- Bobbins are individually wrapped with a stretched plastic film for protection, improved handling and to allow optimum transfer from bobbin to bobbin. Nominal weights of C and V bobbins are respectively 25 kg and 34 kg.
- Two pallet configurations 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.
Storage & Handling
- Storage
Storage in a cool and dry warehouse into the original packaging is formally recommended. If this condition is maintained, the glass fiber product should not undergo significant 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 it is recommended to use the product in ambient conditions: 20°C-23°C and a relative humidity of 60%-65%.
