FIBERGLASS CONTINUOUS FILAMENT TEXTURIZING YARNS FOR THE WEAVING INDUSTRY
5Pages

CUSTOMER ACCEPTANCE STANDARD No. Date: Supersedes: Page: FIBERGLASS CONTINUOUS FILAMENT TEXTURIZING YARNS FOR THE WEAVING INDUSTRY DESCRIPTION Fiberglass yarn is a natural, lustrous, white, continuous filament yarn that is evenly twisted on supply packages. The yarns are smooth, non-cellular and generally cylindrical in form. The yarns are made of glass of high stability and durability and are with the exception of sizing ingredients, inorganic, incombustible and will neither expand nor contract with moisture changes. The glass composition meets the certification for “E” glass as defined by ASTM’s D 578-00 Standards Specification for Glass Fiber Strands. The individual glass fibers do not tend to absorb moisture and are extremely flexible. The sizing may be burned off the yarn under certain conditions. Weathering tests have indicated comparatively unlimited stability under repeated cycles of heat, cold, sunlight, dampness and drying. These yarns are sized with a special texturizing size designated as 602. USE These yarns are designed to permit further fabrication that will result in texturized yarns.
