PRODUCT INFORMATION VD agy strength in materials 933 S-2 Glass® Roving 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 933 S-2 Glass roving is designed to be used in aerospace, defense, and recreation applications such as: • Aircraft Flooring • Helicopter Blades • Radomes • Composite Structures Product Solutions S-2 Glass fibers offer a unique combination of properties: strength, impact resistance, stiffness, radar transparency and temperature, and fatigue resistance. 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, they meet the requirements of MIL-R-60346Type IV Class 1 specifications. 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 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 Product Description 933 S-2 Glass roving consists of numerous G filament (9 microns) continuous glass strands, gathered without mechanical twist and treated with a thermally stable inorganic sizing for high temperature matrices. Excellent tolerance to damage accumulation The ability of composite parts to withstand high levels of tension and flexural fatigue without catastrophic failure S-2 Glass fibers deliver 20% reduction Radar transparency in dielectric constant over E-Glass fibers Long shelf life, good machinability and Consistent performance and excellent durability reliability Resin Compatibility • Polyamide • Polyamide-imide • Phenolic • Cyanate Ester • Modified Epoxy • Polyetherimide • Polyetheretherketone • Liquid Crystal Polymers Processes • Weaving • Filament Winding • Hand Lay-up • Compression Molding • Unidirectional Pre-Impregnation Quick wet-out (penetration of resin into Faster, more efficient processing the strand) Performs as well in certain modified Improved epoxy performance epoxy resin systems where high strength and improved hot/wet tensile strength retention is important S-2 Glass fibers facilitate co-mingling and Improvement in impact resistance hybridization with other reinforcement, and damage tolerance, as well as or thermoplastic fibers, including material cost reduction carbon fibers The 933 sizing is stable at processing Facilitates molding with high temperatures of 354°C (670°F) temperature thermoplastic matrices, yielding exceptional laminate mechanical properties
