Introducing higher performance composites by Owens Corning more modulus, more benefits, more opportunities. This new higher performance glass provides a boost in mechanical properties enhancing part performance or cost optimization through redesign. Reduce the weight of pultruded parts by up to 8% by using higher modulus glass, saving material cost. Improve performance by up to 15% in axial tensile strength for helically wound pipe compared to reference products. The glass can be used in high temperature muffler applications due to an annealing point increase of 25 30°C compared to current products. Higher modulus can enable fiberglass rebar with modulus up to 70 GPa on straight bars. Properties previously unattainable on bent bars can now be achieved. Central strength members can be made 8% lighter, enabling increased fiber optic capacity in the cable. Reduce the weight of parts for automotive applications by up to 9%.
