SE 1010

About this product

Direct Roving for Unsaturated Polyester, Vinylester, Epoxy & Polyurethane Resins

3B Direct Rovings consist of continuous glass filaments bonded into a single strand and wound into a bobbin shape. A proprietary sizing applied on the fibres assures excellent resin-to-glass bonding. Corrosion resistant SE 1010 Direct Rovings made of E-CR glass are specifically designed for Pultrusion where high glass packing is essential e.g. Central Strength Member for Cables and GFRP Rebar. The sizing of SE 1010 is uniquely designed for excellent compatibility to a range of thermoset resins with various curing systems and to protect the fibre while processing at high speed and high glass content. SE 1010 Direct Rovings made of E-CR glass are also used in other processes such as Filament Winding and Weaving under specific conditions. SE 1010 is tested in compliance with BS 14020 and IS 11320.

FEATURES - Boron-free E-CR glass - Unsaturated Polyester, Vinylester, Epoxy & Polyurethane compatible - Excellent processing - Strand integrity

BENEFITS - Environment-friendly, offering high corrosion resistance - Maximum flexibility on workshops and less inventory - Easy unwinding, low fuzz generation - Good impregnation where processing speeds are high

PACKAGING Bobbins are individually tack wrapped for protection, complete unwinding of the bobbins, improved handling and to allow optimum transfer from bobbin to bobbin (Creel-Pack). Two pallet configurations are available: - Bulk-Pack: standard packaging, consists of individual bobbins - Creel-Pack: bobbins are connected together for continuous unwinding (no bobbin handling for operators). Each bobbin and pallet is identified by a label.

STORAGE Vertical storage in a cool and dry warehouse into the original packaging is formally recommended. Ideal storage conditions are a temperature between 15°C and 35°C and a relative humidity comprised between 35% and 85%. If these conditions are maintained, the glass fibre product should not undergo significant changes when stored for extended periods of time. It is also strongly recommended to condition it in the workshop in a packed condition for at least 24 hours before use to prevent condensation. For optimal processing we recommend to use the product in ambient conditions (20°C-30°C and a relative humidity of 60%-65%).

Direct Roving Direct Rovings consist of continuous filaments bonded into a single strand and wound onto a bobbin shape. 3B’s Direct Rovings are available in both corrosion resistant E-glass and R-glass formulations. 3B’s Direct Rovings are designed for excellent processability in composites technologies like: filament winding pultrusion knitting & weaving texturisation Long Fibre Technologies (LFT) Our high performance R-glass, HiPer-tex®, is designed for high load bearings thanks to its high stiffness and strength. HiPer-tex® also displays an improved thermal resistance over standard E type glass, and is corrosion as well as acid resistant. Depending on the technology they are designed for, 3B’s Direct Rovings are compatible with Thermoplastic or Thermoset resins as presented in our product portfolio below.
