Product catalog summary
Product Specifications
S-2 Glass Fiber products are available in various forms such as roving, yarn, and chopped fibers. Each form has specific TEX (yields) and resin compatibility, suitable for different fabrication processes. For instance, roving products like 365 and 449 are compatible with polyester, vinyl ester, and epoxy resins, while yarns like 493 and 636 require specific treatments for resin compatibility.

Fabrication Processes
The fibers can be used in multiple fabrication processes including weaving, braiding, knitting, filament winding, and molding. They comply with military specifications such as MIL-Y-1140H and MIL-R-60346C, ensuring high standards in production.

Performance and Benefits
S-2 Glass fibers offer enhanced properties such as increased strength, impact resistance, stiffness, temperature resistance, fatigue resistance, and radar transparency. Compared to conventional glass fibers, S-2 Glass fibers provide 85% more tensile strength and 25% more linear-elastic stiffness, resulting in better weight and cost performance.

ZenTron Features
ZenTron fibers are designed for efficient processing with a catenary-free, single-end roving, allowing for more uniform fiber alignment. They offer quick wet-out capabilities, wetting out 50% faster than conventional rovings, and minimal fuzz, reducing fiber breakage during handling.
