About this product

Wet Chopped Strand for Gypsum applications

WS 6050-16W is designed to reinforce gypsum wallboards with glass fibre. Its sizing has been specifically developed to enhance gypsum adhesion to glass fibre, to provide outstanding fibre dispersion and distribution in gypsum slurry and superior flowability of the fibre. As a result, this product exhibits very good feeding properties to deliver a dosing flow consistency, and to drastically improve fire resistance and mechanical properties of the gypsum boards.

FEATURES - Innovative sizing technology - Versatile chopped strand product - High fibre flowability

BENEFITS - Compatibility with gypsum slurry - Excellent fibre dispersion - High fibre flowability - Designed for a wide range of applications, especially in gypsum boards, including fire retardant boards - Superior feeding behaviour to deliver a dosing flow consistency

PACKAGING Standard packaging for WS 6050-16W Wet Chopped Strand is a 1000 or 1150 kg polypropylene bag, with a conical bottom discharge. Plastic sheets are placed on the top of the bag and the load is fixed to the pallet with a stretch film (1 bag/pallet). Pallet size: 1150 x 1150 mm. Packaging in smaller quantities is available on request.

STORAGE It is recommended to store wet chopped strand products indoor at room temperature and at a relative humidity of 50% ± 15%. The product should remain in its original packaging, sealed bags away from all sources of heat to avoid moisture loss, and away from low temperature to prevent it from freezing. It is recommended that material must be conditioned in the working place just prior to use. In case a packaging unit is only partly used, it should be immediately re-sealed.

Wet chopped strand Wet Chopped Strand 3B’s Wet Chopped Strands are coated E-CR glass fibre filaments specifically engineered for wet-process, non-woven applications. Our Wet Chopped Strands offer the following advantages: excellent strength and dimensional stability performing well across a variety of temperature and humidity conditions broad chemical resistance quick and uniform dispersion in water-based bonding systems, whether acidic, neutral or basic. 3B’s Wet Chopped Strand products enhance value and mix well with fibrous materials such as wood, paper and polyester. They have been specially developed for use in wet-formed mats and veils, which are processed in either acidic or neutral white water systems. Improved mat properties make these products suitable across a diverse range of end-use applications such as specialty papers, filters, printed circuit boards, roofing mats, roof tiles, acoustic tiles and vinyl-coated flooring.
