Description: Film Former for Glass Fiber Sizes General Information: COIM has developed a range of polyesters for the treatment of glass fiber. These polyesters come in powder and emulsion form and are collectively known as FILCO®. The products in the FILCO® line serve to size glass fiber, to optimize the mechanical characteristics of the fiber, or to bind the fibers for the production of mat. Typical Physical and Chemical Characteristics: - Filco 368 is a saturated plasticizing polyester resin in non ionic water emulsion
- saturated polyester resin with medium-low molecular weight
- non ionic emulsion
- narrow particle size distribution
- excellent compatibility with both polyester resin and PVAC emulsion
In addition to sizes based on polyester and on PVAC emulsion Filco 368 gives a dried film that is softer and very quickly soluble in styrene. Applications: Filco 368 is suggested as a film former for glass fiber sizes for:- plasticizer for sizes based on polyester and PVAC emulsion resins
- plasticizer for PVAC emulsion binder for glass mats
A slight synaeresis may occur during storage. Therefore, Filco 368 should be thoroughly stirred before use, until complete homogenization is obtained. Information provided by P.A.T. Products, Inc. |
