Product catalog summary
Overview
AGY's S-2 Glass® Roving is a high-strength fiber designed for demanding reinforcement applications, particularly in aerospace, defense, and recreation sectors. It offers a unique combination of properties such as strength, impact resistance, stiffness, radar transparency, and temperature and fatigue resistance.

Product Applications
The 463 S-2 Glass roving is suitable for use in pressure vessels, ballistic armor, and aircraft flooring.

Product Solutions
S-2 Glass fibers are lighter than conventional glass fibers and offer better cost performance compared to aramid and carbon fibers. They comply with MIL-R-60346 Type IV, Class 1 specifications.

Product Description
The roving consists of numerous G-filament (9 micron) continuous glass strands, treated with an epoxy-silane sizing, and is compatible with epoxy (anhydride-cured) resins.

Processes
The fibers can be used in various processes including weaving, hand lay-up, uni-directional pre-impregnation, filament winding, contact molding, and compression molding.

Features and Benefits
  • 85% more tensile strength than conventional glass fiber.
  • Improved impact capabilities and durability.
  • High tensile strength and stability at elevated temperatures.
  • 25% more linear-elastic stiffness than conventional glass fiber.
  • Excellent damage tolerance and radar transparency.
  • Long shelf life, good machinability, and excellent durability.
  • Quick wet-out for faster processing.


Packaging
Available in Rhino Tube packaging with different dimensions and weights. The package weight varies from 6.8kg to 14.5kg, with different yields available.

Properties
Characteristics include impregnated strand tensile strength of 3.7-4.3GPa and horizontal shear strength of 55-78MPa. The wet strength retention after a 6-hour water boil is 95%.

Glass Composition
Reference standards include AMS 3832A, ASTM C 162-90, and MIL-R-60346. The nominal filament diameter is 9 microns.
