Glass yarn, strand

ADFORS produces yarn and strand made of E glass or C glass.

Its characteristics like high tensile strength, low elongation and thermal resistance enable glass fiber to be applied in different markets like automobile, aircraft, electronics and construction.

New products
		Aluminum coated fiber Alucoat is Bi-component multifilament strands with a glass core and aluminum shealth using Fibrecoat Technology. This innovative fibre is providing high stiffness and tensile strength and combining metal properties for high electrical and thermal conductivity. It will be also offered as chopped fibres compatible with polymer and nonwoven processing and as roving for textile processing (e.g., weaving, knitting, non-crimp fabrics, narrow fabrics or even braiding). The application of the coating in the process of manufacturing glass fibers has enabled a substantial reduction in both process steps and energy consumption when compared to existing technologies.

		Hybrid yarn Yarn made of twisted glass fibers and thermoplastic resin fibers (polypropylene or polyamide) coated with a unique sizing material. When woven fabrics made with this product are heated, the resin melts and when cooled, it hardens into any desired shape and transforms into a fiber-reinforced plastic layer. Compared to existing technology that involves sandwiching glass woven fabric and resin film, the glass fibers are more evenly dispersed, resulting in higher tensile and shear strength.

Standard products
		Glass Yarn Glass yarn is made by plying several E glass strands processed by size material.

		Zero twist Zero twist is a roving fiber without splice which is made of glass strand without plying.

		Chopped strand Chopped strand is made of E glass fiber which has been processed by size material and chopped in a certain length.

		Staple fiber Staple fiber is made by assembling discontinuous C glass fibers.
