This process consists of winding a sheet made of a glass filament tape on an electrical conductor to provide insulation resistance. The tapes are often produced on narrow looms, large fabrics can be also cut in narrow bands. 5/7/9µm (D,E;G) Saint-Gobain Vetrotex yarns sized with T3F, T32K/M, T30G/K/M , T8G and even TD22G are recommended for this process. |
Electrical cables can be reinforced by feeding glass filament yarns during the pultrusion process. This provides the required dimensional stability for the end product. Saint-Gobain Vetrotex 9µm(G) 68 and 136 yarns sized with T8G are generally used. TD22G yarns impart dimensional stability to optical cable. Sheet of glass filament yarn can be also laminated with a plastic film to produce outstanding adhesives tapes. |
Single glass filament yarns are impregnated with a resorcinol formaldehyde latex to promote adhesion to rubber. Then the impregnated yarns are transformed by plying in a cord that will be used to reinforce timing belts. This imparts the required mechanical properties and dimensional stability. EC9 110 Z20 T6G H8 (G45 1/0 0.5Z) yarn suits perfectly the requirements for this application. |
Sheet or textile structures made of glass filaments products can be laminated with various substrates. Major application are paper reinforcement, flooring, adhesive tapes, vapor barrier facing (glass filament structure laminated with aluminum foil), pressure sensitive insulation tapes. Saint-Gobain Vetrotex glass filament yarns provide the laminated products outstanding mechanical and thermal characteristics. The high tensile strength of T6G/M, 5310C, 876s sized yarns suits the requirements for lamination applications. |
