CUSTOMER ACCEPTANCE STANDARD No. Date: Supersedes: Page: FIBERGLASS CONTINUOUS FILAMENT YARN FOR THE PAPER, FILM AND FOIL INDUSTRY DESCRIPTION Fiberglass yarn is a natural, lustrous, white, continuous filament yarn which is twisted on various 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. USE These yarns are used as reinforcements in the manufacture of laminates of paper, film, foils or combination thereof.

No. Date: Supersedes: Page: CUSTOMER ACCEPTANCE STANDARD Filament Designation US Units Filament Designation SI Units Range for Average Filament Diameter Minimum Inches 0.00035 0.00040 The yarns are twisted onto plastic single flange bobbins with a milk bottle type build, which is suitable for over end removal only. The bobbins are designed to provide a smooth runout, and their geometry is controlled to maintain the desired runout performance. The package build will not extend past the edge of the base. Maximum allowable undercut at the base is 3/16” (5mm). The bobbins have no defects on the...
