PPG introduces new portfolio of glass compositions at COMPOSITES 2012

PPG Industries’ today announced the findings it presented at a seminar on its INNOFIBER(R) glass composition fibers during last week’s COMPOSITES 2012, hosted by the American Composite Manufacturers Association (ACMA) at Mandalay Bay Convention Center in Las Vegas. During the seminar, PPG provided an overview of key benefits of the INNOFIBER portfolio of glass composition fibers, as well as explanation of how these products exceed the corrosion-resistance and modulus-performance limits of E-Glass. Richards presented separate lab test results that illustrated clear differences for corrosion resistance as well as unidirectional dry wound tensile modulus using INNOFIBER glass fiber rovings and proprietary fiber glass sizing chemistry. PPG Fiber Glass is a global manufacturer of reinforcement materials for thermoset and thermoplastic composite applications with manufacturing and research facilities in the United States, Europe and Asia.
