Chopped glass fiber, known as chopped yarn, CPIC chopped yarn, is categorized into chopped yarn for thermoplastics, chopped yarn for BMC, and water drawn yarn. It is used in reinforced thermoplastics (e.g. PA, PET, PBT, PC, etc.) and reinforced thermosetting plastics (e.g. phenolic resins, unsaturated polyester resins, etc., commonly used in the BMC process), as well as other applications (e.g. Hydrodrawing as a substrate for wet felts). Short-cut yarns are classified as dry short-cut yarns and wet short-cut yarns based on their wet and dry states. Thermoplastic and BMC series short-cut yarns fall under dry short-cut yarns, while Hydroentanglement yarns are categorized as wet short-cut yarns.
Water Drawing
This is a range of wet-cut water-dispersible fibers, WCS2505 is a glass chopped fiber specifically designed to strengthen industrial denitrification catalyst carriers. The fibers are coated with a unique wetting agent to offer excellent dispersing and reinforcing capabilities.
