HiPer-texTM H2020 Roving

HiPer-tex™ glass is a High

Performance glass produced by 3B

the fibreglass company. It is classified

as high strength, high modulus

R-Glass, by ASTM C-162, DIN 1259

and ISO 2078 standards.

HiPer-tex™ glass displays outstanding

mechanical properties that translate

into 10% higher stiffness and 30%

higher strength than conventional

glass fibres.

HiPer-tex™ glass is also a boron-

free glass that presents significant

improved corrosion resistance

over a wide range of aggressive

environments, including automotive

battery acid.

3B’s HiPer-tex™ glass is produced

with the latest and newest State

of the Art glass manufacturing

technology. Not only this technology

displays the highest energy efficiency

for the lowest environmental impact

but it also enables production of

glass featuring the highest level of

consistency compulsorily required for

high demanding applications such as

high pressure composite vessels.

For these reasons, 3B’s HiPer-tex™

glass is recognized as the global

benchmark product when it deals with

manufacturing of fully glass wrapped

CNG composite cylinders that meet

the most stringent standards,

UN R110 or NGV2-2007.

H2020 made composites display high static properties such as strength and modulus as well as outstanding inter-fibre and interlaminar strengths that translate into unprecedented level of fatigue performances on the final composite. For these reasons H2020 Direct Roving is the roving of choice for the manufacturing of fully glass wrapped Type 3 and Type 4 CNG cylinders.

Product Description

3B’s H2020 Direct Roving is made of HiPer-tex™ glass and consists of continuous filaments bonded into a single strand and wound onto a bob-bin shape. H2020 Direct Roving is specifically designed for the produc-tion of vessels by Filament Winding technologies. H2020 Direct Roving features the second to none specific epoxy compatible sizing newly deve-loped by 3B that ensures enhanced epoxy-to-glass bonding.

HiPer-tex™ is a trademark of 3B-the fibreglass company

Bobbins are individually wrapped with stretched plastic

fi lm for protection, improved handling and to allow opti-

mum transfer from bobbin to bobbin. Nominal weight for

C bobbins is 25 kgs (55 lbs). Two pallet confi gurations are

available:

- Bulk Pack : standard packaging, consists of individual

bobbins

- Creel Pack : bobbins are connected together for conti-

nuous unwinding and no bobbins handling for operators.

For detailed information about bobbins, pallet weight,

dimensions and layout please contact us.

Storage in a cool and dry warehouse into the original

packaging is formally recommended. More precisely

ideal storage conditions are a temperature between 15°C

(59°F) and 35°C (95°F) and a relative humidity comprised

between 35% and 75%. If these conditions are maintai-

ned, the glass fi bre product should not undergo signifi -

cant changes when stored for extended periods of time. It

is also strongly recommended to condition it in the

workshop for at least 24 hours before use to prevent

condensation. For an optimal processing it is recom-

mended to use the product in ambient conditions 20°C-

23°C (68°F-73°F) and a relative humidity of 60%-65%.
