PRODUCT INFORMATION 401 S-2 Glass® Chopped Strands High-Strength Solutions for Your Toughest Reinforcement Challenges AGY's S-2 Glass® high-strength fibers are specifically designed to meet your most demanding performance processing and cost requirements. AGY's global network of people and facilities are ready to help you develop innovative solutions to your most difficult reinforcement challenges. Product Application 401 S-2 Glass chopped strands are designed to be for high-performance polymer composites as well as ceramic and metal matrix composites in construction, appliance and recreation applications such as: • Bathroom fixtures • Stove element insulation Stovetop Heater Surface Product Solutions S-2 Glass fibers offer a unique combination of properties: strength, impact resistance, stiffness, temperature and fatigue resistance, and radar transparency. Compared with other reinforcing materials, S-2 Glass fibers weigh less than conventional glass fiber and deliver better cost performance than aramid and carbon fibers. In addition, these fibers meet stringent military requirements. Product Description 401 S-2 Glass chopped strands consist of numerous E to K-filament (7-13 microns) continuous glass fibers, cut into short pieces of consistent length. Standard length is 6.4mm (0.25in.) S-2 Glass fiber offers significantly more strength than conventional glass fiber: 85% more tensile strength in resin impregnated strands Better fiber toughness, modulus of resilience and impact deformation than conventional glass fiber Softening point: 1056°C (1932°F) Annealing point: 816°C (1500°F) Strain point: 766°C (1410°F) Enhanced stiffness Excellent tolerance to damage accumulation Consistent high performance for reliable and durable finished parts Improved impact capabilities to finished parts and higher composites durability and damaged tolerance Greater fiber tensile strength and stability at elevated temperatures in thermoset and thermoplastic applications Delivers 25% more linear-elastic stiffness than conventional glass fiber The ability of composite parts to withstand high levels of tension and flexural fatigue without catastrophic failure Resin Compatibility • Epoxy • Phenolic Processes • Compound molding • Injection molding • Ceramic casting S-2 Glass fibers deliver 20% reduction Radar transparency in dielectric constant over E-Glass fibers High purity Greater consistency in physical properties and and product performance Uniform chop length, filament diameter Predictable, high-quality lot-to-lot and quality controlled production performance Long shelf life, good machinability and Consistent performance and excellent durability reliability
