Texstrand® 56 rovings are texturized into single end entangled or bulked rovings. Texstrand® 56 is utilized to improve the shear strength of pultruded profiles, decrease resin richness and edge cracking in thin pultruded components and as a replacement for continuous strand mat in small and tubular profiles. Texstrand® 56 is most often used in the production of window profiles, which typically have many thin cross sections. Texstrand® 56 is comprised of E-glass rovings, which have been air jet entangled or bulked to form a larger strand. Sizing is compatible with polyester, vinyl ester, epoxy, and polyurethane.
