LINE OVERVIEW
DESCRIPTION:
Fibertec mineral wool fibers are inorganic synthetic
"wool-like" fibers which have been specifically
milled and processed to controlled lengths and with
predictable diameters and aspect ratios. These mineral
fibers are generated from complex mineral silicates having
as primary components silicates of calcium, magnesium and
aluminum.
Fibertec
mineral fibers can be surface treated to enhance performance
in selected resin systems. Further, because these fibers are
additionally characterized by very low loose and tapped bulk
densities, they are desirable for low-density reinforced
thermoset and thermoplastic systems.
PRIMARY USE:
Fibertec mineral wool fibers are used as reinforcing
fillers providing improvements in flexural modulus,
elongation, tensile
strength and processing in plastic resin
systems. Additionally these fibers can be functional
components in adhesives and sealants, resin-based gasketing
systems and transportation friction components. A reported
significant advantage is lower equipment wear versus other
functional fillers.
