Microwool
Milled Mineral Wool
thermoplastic reinforcement


PRODUCT 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.
