3B Fibreglass W 3030

3B Fiberglass W 3030 are specifically designed to provide significantly higher modulus, strength and enhanced fatigue performances versus traditional E-glass for wind tur-bine blades made out of unsaturated polyester, vinylester or Epoxy resin. HiPer-texTM W 3030 Rovings are per-fectly suited for the production of high modulus Non Crimped Glass Fabrics. The sizing W 3030 is purposely for-mulated for excellent adhesion with polyester, vinylester and 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.

Packaging & Availability

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.
  • 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.

 

Storage & Handling

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 responsibility.Place HiPer-texTM W3030 Rovings in the workshop at least 24 hours prior usage.For an optimal processing we recommend to use the product in ambient conditions (20-23 °C, 60-65% RH).
