398 Direct Roving is a single-end continuous roving based on E glass formulation. It is coated with a silane-based sizing, specifically designed to reinforce epoxy resin, and suitable for amine or anhydride curing systems. 398 is mainly used for UD, biaxial, and multiaxial weaving processes, and also for filament winding.
398 reinforced epoxy resin has excellent mechanical properties, especially high modulus. It can be used to manufacture large wind blades in a vacuum-assisted resin infusion processes, and also to make FRP pipes and pressure vessels.
