Product catalog summary
Product Overview
401 S-2 Glass® Chopped Strands are high-strength fibers designed for demanding reinforcement applications. They offer superior tensile strength, impact resistance, and stiffness compared to conventional glass fibers, making them suitable for high-performance polymer composites and ceramic and metal matrix composites.

Key Features and Benefits
  • Strength and Durability: 85% more tensile strength than conventional glass fibers, improved impact capabilities, and higher composite durability.
  • Temperature Resistance: High softening, annealing, and strain points ensure stability at elevated temperatures.
  • Stiffness and Damage Tolerance: 25% more linear-elastic stiffness and excellent tolerance to damage accumulation.
  • Radar Transparency: 20% reduction in dielectric constant over E-glass fibers.
  • High Purity and Consistency: Uniform chop length and filament diameter ensure predictable performance.

Applications
These fibers are used in construction, appliance, and recreation applications, including bathroom fixtures and stove element insulation.

Technical Specifications
  • Physical Properties: Specific gravity of 2.46-2.49, Mohs' hardness of 6.5, and a coefficient of thermal expansion of 1.6 x 10-6/°C.
  • Mechanical Properties: Tensile strength of 4890 MPa at 22°C, tensile modulus of elasticity of 89 GPa, and 100% elastic recovery.
  • Optical Properties: Refractive index of 1.520 at 32°C, transparent clarity, and opaque ultraviolet transmission.

Packaging
Available in small cartons (27 per pallet) with dimensions of 53 cm x 38 cm x 38 cm and a weight of 22.7 kg. Pallets are stretch-wrapped to prevent shifting.
